메르톨라 최고의 사이클링 경로

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

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

A beautiful spot from which you can anticipate the crossing from Portugal to Spain, crossing under the Chanza reservoir dam, next to the Guadiana River.

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.

On the south bank of the Guadiana, before crossing into the city, you have a beautiful view of Mértola, especially with its castle at the top of the hill and the rest of the city spread out over the hill.

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.

Great panoramic view over the historic village of Mértola.

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.
