Looks like they are gonna have a Switchback from TAR 23 with the tiles 

[Xoruz]

There was also a Valet Parking sign in the Porto airport during the preview. Maybe they randomly choose a car from a group with different features like one is a manual, one is automatic, one has gps, and one just has a map.

Is that why we see Jonathan & Victoria Ana in a train?

The castle is the Castelo de Santa Maria da Feira.

Looks like Carson & Jack are getting their dream task - 2 legs in a row. The way they nerded out over the water joust will be nothing compared to this.

No, I think teams will be asked to take a train to Paris before flying to Portugal. 

[Maanca]

So this leg's twist is a Switchback?

Looks like both "Whiskey Rollin'" from Scotland 22 and "Tiles" from Portugal 23. I'm guessing they're the two Detour options.

[Alenaveda]

This is somewhere alongside the Duero River. According to Google the mountains match with the ones in the Pinhao area but I can't find the right spot.

[Alenaveda]

Something that seems to enforce the hipotesis of the teams travelling to Pinhao: Phil here is standing in the middle of a vineyard. Well, the Pinhao area is known by its vineyards.

[Alenaveda]

One more thing, in this picture of Carson & Jack crossing paths with Han & Holden - who were doing the barrel task - you can see the water along the road, so this is probably happening in the same area.

[Alenaveda]

Looks like the image they have to assemble with the tiles is the one of the Don Luis I Bridge, that crosses the Duero River between the city of Oporto and Vila Nova de Gaia

Holy cow, I was right.

Talking about twists on the race...

[Alenaveda]

And, of course, the Pit Stop is located somewhere in Pinhao.

[Neobie]

Han/Holden are here on the south bank of the Duoro across from Peso da Régua, and are trying to head here, the Caldas do Moledo on the other side.

Just past the Caldas do Moledo at the Lugar do Granjão here, teams row across the Duoro, back to the south bank.

Once across, the barrel rolling is up from the river to the Quinta de Santa Clara here.

With this and the visit to Santa Maria da Feira (was just there in 2023 for their medieval festival!), looks like there's a whole lot of travelling this leg!

[Neobie]

Train station looks like Campanhã Station. But if Han/Holden were driving to Pinhão, and Santa Maria da Feira is not accessible by train, where could they be going? Got off one stop early from Pinhão instead of at Porto São Bento?



The tiles are here on the Rua da Reboleira, right on the Porto waterfront and filled with tourists.

[Alenaveda]

They show a grin of people who know that they screwed it big, for sure.

[Alenaveda]

Ok, let's put together all the info we have so far:

Travel to Porto.
Car roulette at the airport's parking lot.
Tile task at the Porto waterfront.
RB at the Santa Maria da Feira castle.
Crossing the Douro River at Caldas do Moledo to Lugar do Granjão
Barrel task at Quinta de Santa Clara
Pit Stop somewhere in the area of Sabrosa/Alijó.

Are we missing something?
