モンディム・デ・バストのおすすめツーリングルート

A peaceful route with stunning views over the Tâmega River; in autumn, enjoy the falling leaves and their variety of colors. A safe place to cycle – be careful when crossing local roads, which are usually marked. At a sporting level, sufficiently challenging – 80 kilometers and 800 meters of elevation gain (round trip between Amarante and Arco de Baulhe). Restaurants and/or bars are available at the Gatão, Celorico, and Mondim de Basto train stations.

fantastic route

Relatively flat. Very pleasant.

Nice climb, steady and great for pushing. Nice view at the top, and there's a fountain halfway up/down.

From this hairpin bend you have a spectacular view. The spontaneous vegetation extends into a carpet of dry grass and low shrubs, typical of the hilly environment. A few scattered trees, with foliage of a more intense green, dot the landscape, adding depth and contrast.

The trail follows the Cabril River and passes the famous swings of Vilar de Viando. The stone floor is more demanding on the legs, but the peaceful surroundings make it all worthwhile.

Mondim de Basto, on the banks of the Tâmega, holds memories of many peoples. Although it was only founded in the 12th century, during the reign of D. Sancho I, its roots are much older.
