MTB XC Route, beginning and ending at the "Polo D - Baixo Alentejo do Centro de Cyclin' de Ourique", located in Ourique. Route of a high skill leve through rural paths, with a landscape dominated by cork oak and holm oak in the “countryside” area and by the extensive Mediterranean scrublands in the most southern and mountainous area. The degree of difficulty is attributed essentially to the distance covered and the accumulated gap, as the paths are wide and generally have a good floor. There are some more challenging slopes, but always with great flow throughout the landscape. The main crossing points are the "Castro da Cola" archaeological site, located next to the Mira River and the "Santa Clara" Dam, and the "Aldeia de Palheiros". In the "Castro da Cola" archaeological site, there is a restaurant and a recommended Interpretive Center and in "Aldeia de Palheiros" there are support services such as cafes and public toilets. The route crosses the Mira river bed twice, and this crossing may be conditioned during periods of higher flow. This route is partially coincident with other routes of this Cycling Center, with different distances and degrees of difficulty, allowing you to choose a different route during the activity. In addition, this route also allows the connection to the Cycling Center of Almodôvar, being partially coincident with one of its routes.
