There is an unforgettable experience that starts next to the river beach in this pretty north-eastern Algarve border village. Mother nature generously reveals magnificent views as a reward for the climb up to Santa Marta, where a fun section of the route begins: the road is narrow as far as Giões, but it brings you into contact with charming villages for which the interior is well known. Game hunting is commonplace in this mountainous region, so wild animals such as hares and wild boars can often be spotted. The route takes the wide EN 124 on flat ground as far as Pereiro and Balurcos, allowing you to recover your energy for a demanding descent between Corte das Donas and Guerreiros do Rio, with the enigmatic Guadiana River as a backdrop.
