Estremoz is a Portuguese city located in the district of Évora, in Alto Alentejo, known as the "marble capital" of Portugal. It is divided into two parts: a medieval upper town, enclosed by walls, with old white houses and an imposing castle (the Castle of Queen Santa Isabel, which houses a Pousada), and a lower town with eighteenth-century fortifications. Estremoz is famous for its white marble quarries, which have made Portugal a major world exporter, and for its traditional terracotta crafts, especially the "puppets" (Bonecos de Estremoz), a UNESCO Intangible Heritage. The city hosts a lively weekly farmers' market.

This scenic road gives stunning views over the region and the hills all around. Enjoy it!

At the top of the Serra d’Ossa, at an altitude of 650 metres, stands the Alto de São Gens. Among the ruins of the old chapel dedicated to the saint, memories of an occupation that dates back more than three millennia, to the Bronze and Iron Ages, echo. This archaeological site, shrouded in legend and symbolism, was later associated by the monks of the Congregation of São Paulo with the mythical Mount of Venus, the refuge of Viriato, the legendary Lusitanian leader who, according to tradition, descended from here to confront the Romans.

Here the wide, compact dirt road passes under a suggestive arched bridge that looks like it has its age.

This sanctuary is located in an elevated position that offers spectacular views of the city of Porto, the Douro River and the Atlantic Ocean. It is an important place of pilgrimage and devotion for the local community. In addition to its religious significance, the site is highly regarded for its viewpoint.

Here you can pedal in complete tranquility on a quiet dirt road and nearby there are also a couple of small water basins.
