High road with the best views of the surrounding valleys and the sea. Can be very windy at times. Little traffic, wide street.

Marmelete

Highlight • Settlement

Marmelete is a small town in the Algarve. There is a supermarket and a few bars, so you can definitely plan a short stop to refresh yourself.

Camino de la sierra

Highlight • Climb

The slope is pleasant at first. Shortly before the end, before reaching the main road, you face a steep climb, most of it without refreshing shade. However, there is very little traffic. If you're going downhill, it's a joy.

View of the Bravura Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Bravura Dam stretches across a vast expanse of water that reflects the Algarve sky. On intensely hot days, the water level drops, revealing the riverbed, sometimes even with cattle grazing where there was once water.
