    The old disaffected copper mines are just a lunar landscape gravel heaven, worth doing a bit of a research about the history of this place or just read the signs along the way. Smooth gravel tracks. Easy rolling. Amazing light reflected in the copper coloured little lakes. A must do if you are riding gravel in Portugal.

      This abandoned mine presents itself to the viewer like a bizarre stage set. A dam-like road leads through the area on the finest gravel. Streams and ponds shimmer in copper to green and black. Signs warn about the water. Dramatic and eerily beautiful.

        Unforgettable connection between Mina and Santana de Cambas. Route of the old railway line. The ACHADA DO GAMO site is post-apocalyptic (blast sulphur furnaces from the 1940's).
