팔멜라 최고의 사이클링 경로

Palmela와 Alto das Necessidades를 연결하는 Serra do Louro의 가장 특징적인 도로 중 하나입니다.

It's also very easy to cycle. Some paths along the route toward the nature reserve are fenced off as private property. Therefore, plan time and energy reserves for detours.

This shortcut will bring you to the first beach of the Salinas de Samouco, but from then you'll have to cycle back.

The first part is only rocks and it's really hard to cycle, about 200mt. Afterwards it turns into a trail meandering between mills with an amazing view on both sides. Note: at the end of the road, before the rocks, there is a bread shop that I'd recommend.

This photo was taken at the foot of a gate that gives access to more paths (still unknown to us)

José Maria dos Santos, son of Caetano dos Santos (a blacksmith or farrier) and Gertrudes Maria, became a wealthy farmer and the greatest Portuguese winegrower, thanks to his unique business management skills at the time. It is said that he planted the largest vineyard in the world, between Herdade de Rio Frio and Poceirão, after finding his fortune by marrying Maria Cândida Ferreira Braga, daughter of the capitalist Alexandre José Ferreira Braga and Baroness of São Romão, by marriage to Manuel Gomes da Costa São Romão, who had left her widow. The Baron of São Romão held all the titles to the property, which he had acquired in the 1850s with the Venda do Alcaide land grant, thus transferring capital from the urban domain to the agricultural sector (which was not a very common practice at the time). José Maria dos Santos was a member of parliament and a Peer of the Realm. However, he is said to have rejected the titles of nobility that were intended to be granted to him.

The José Maria dos Santos Garden is a green space in the city center, right next to the Train Station...

Good place to have a picnic, stay on the beach, or even take a bath!
