Tips

Cycling

Amazing views of the river and town. The northern gate exit is a beautiful old gate and walkway cut from big ancient boulders; it leads down to the river with wide stairs, but it's possible to walk the bike down, and well worth it.

Luxurious views from the fortress towards Spain and the river Miño.

This entrance to the fortress is fine for pilgrims, but not so suitable for cyclists. There is a bike path around the fort leading to the south entrance. It's a lot easier.
