TAR37: Ep 11: "My Knight in Shining Armor" (5/14/2025)
Neobie:
In Sneak Peak 2, we see Holden... holdin' a map specially provided by the producers. It has a thick red line that ends at Granjão, which is where the rafting takes place and where Han/Holden are headed.
Tracing back east, the line has a few places labelled, including Caldas de Moledo (which Han/Holden are asking directions for) and Peso da Régua (where they are currently semi-lost). The line then snakes northeast beyond the fold of the page...
And searching in that direction gives us the overhead shot of Josiah/Alyssa, at the Câmara Municipal de Sabrosa. It's a 42km/26mi drive from there to the rafting at Granjão, with quite a few twists and turns to throw teams off.

As you stated in an early post, there's no train from Santa Maria do Feira. However there's a line that runs 6 times a day from Pinhao to Porto and has a station on Caldas do Moledo.
But I think is just the game designer on me speculating based on how I would have ordered the tasks.

I feel the same way, but I think the sun angles put Sabrosa and Granjão first. Very roughly:
- Alyssa/Josiah at Sabrosa at around 3:05pm
- Jack/Carson at Granjão (barrel rolling) at around 3:10pm
- Alyssa/Josiah at Santa Maria da Feira (knight roadblock) at around 5:20pm
Edit: I was wrong! Looks like there's a train from Vila da Feira to Porto São Bento, taking ~1h30 and running 9 times a day, but requiring a change of station at Espinho. This would be terrible planning though, as it'd either bunch teams up or put them so far apart that there's no hope of catching up, right before the Pit Stop.
I'm thinking production would have teams drive to the main line (e.g., Espinho) to take the much, much more frequent services there back to Porto. Some trains from Espinho go directly to Porto São Bento, while some end at Porto Campanha, one stop short.

This fits perfect with their picture in Porto Campanha. I mean, we speculated that they drop off one stop before São Bento by mistake but they could have taken a train that ends in Porto Campanha instead.
Maanca:
Whatever the cut task was in Sabrosa, it was something related to Magellan. The final memory task still used the actor as the picture representing this leg.
I wondered why he didn't look familiar watching the finale, lol
Alenaveda:
Well, Sabrosa is the place where Magellan was born and there's also a museum dedicated to him and his travel around the world there.
