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.

But in any season, the scenery remains serene and stunning, worthy of its name.
