과디아나 밸리 자연 공원 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

Mértola is a beautiful Alentejo village, bathed by the Guadiana River. It has a walking trail that I did and really enjoyed. 👍🥾

The Hermitage of Our Lady of La Peña in Puebla de Guzmán (Huelva) is one of the most emblematic sanctuaries in the Andévalo region of Huelva province, with a deep spiritual, artistic, and cultural tradition. Location: On Cerro del Águila (Eagle Hill), about 4 km from the town center. Origin: Probably built in the 16th century, with significant renovations in the 17th century, 1960, and 1992. Founding legend: According to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared to the shepherd Alonso Gómez in the 15th century, who was instructed to build a hermitage on that site.

The castle sits atop a hill overlooking the Guadiana River. The river forms the natural border between Portugal and Spain.

Mertola is a beautiful medieval town. If you're cycling along the Guadiana River, I recommend stopping by to explore its cobblestone streets and indulge in the delicious cuisine.

The old, abandoned copper mines resemble a lunar landscape: a strange and fascinating stage, illuminated by the reflections of copper-hued lakes. A road cuts through the landscape, guiding you along dirt roads. Streams and wells glow in unlikely colors, from copper to green to deep black. Signs warn of the dangers of the water, but nothing prevents your gaze from losing itself in the dramatic and unsettling beauty of the place.

Located in the tranquil setting of the Barragem da Tapada Grande reservoir, this river beach of the same name is a very pleasant recreational area with a sandy beach, lawns, and comprehensive infrastructure. Nearby is the village of Minas de São Domingos, which was developed in connection with the now-defunct mining operations.

You can find the best gravel rides in Mertola.

This is the “Best in Town”, don’t miss it. Nice home-made food. The owner is a knee cyclist.
