Matas周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ12

the southwest part is quite overgrown with blackberries (those with the spikes). I do not recommend it in this time (end of August) of the year. I did it today and it was quite a horror. The landscape is nice, without doubt. But those plants are not.

The Lis River, whose source is in the town of Fontes, Cortes, is one of the few rivers in the country whose current flows from south to north and, in the final kilometres, from east to west. In winter and early spring, it is possible to see water emerging from the ground in surprising quantities. In the summer months, the source is usually dry.

I recommend it to cyclists who want to push the limits.

While the spring itself is dry in summer it must be spectacular when the rains are back in November. But the Rio Lis is also fed by water coming from inside the mountain and ground-water from the area, so water starts flowing a few hundred meters further down the riverbed, nice and fresh. There is a lovely path following it, and those who did some walking on a lovely summers day will really enjoy a little dip, maybe some swimming, but at least a bit of wading through it. There is easy access in several places, have fun 😀!

Single track that has a first part going down inside a veritable tunnel of vegetation, in the middle there is an ascent that takes us down again over a stone floor to the Maninho valley.

Single track that can be done in both directions, more fun going downhill, but also good going uphill, with no drops that prevent the climb. The name Campo de Tiro is due to the fact that there was once a clay pigeon shooting range in that place, where the ruins are still there.

Single track parallel to Ribeiro das Chitas, and at the end you can continue along the single track to Padrão, or turn right crossing the stream towards Curvachia again. If done in the West-East direction, right at the beginning there is a climb of about 1m that with skill and speed you can climb. Good to do also at night with good flashlights.

Single Track that crosses the Ribeira das Chitas and passes "underneath" the beautiful rocks of Padrão, ending almost at Curvachia, quite quick to do and long.
