Mindeのおすすめランニングルート

Near the top of Cabeça Gorda, this viewpoint overlooks the Mira de Aire lagoons and the small town below. Here, a picnic area invites you to take a break: whether to stretch your legs in the sun or take shelter in the shade, depending on your body and the moment.

The Serra de Aire stands as the highest point of the Estremenho Limestone Massif, crowning its 678 metres at the geodesic vertex. Up here, the horizon opens up generously: to the south stretches the Tertiary Tagus Basin, lowered by the Arrife thrust and marked by ochre tones of sand and clay; to the west and southwest rise the Santo António plateau and the Serra dos Candeeiros. And if the sky cooperates, the view also reaches Montejunto, the sea in the distance and, to the north, the highlands of São Mamede up to Ourém and Fátima.

The Garcia Valley hides a narrow and wild trail, where the bush almost blocks the path, but that is precisely what makes it special for runners. The classic climb is a real test for the legs: 200 meters of elevation gain in just one kilometer. Short, tough and full of charm.
