Nice climb, steady and great for pushing. Nice view at the top, and there's a fountain halfway up/down.

From this hairpin bend you have a spectacular view. The spontaneous vegetation extends into a carpet of dry grass and low shrubs, typical of the hilly environment. A few scattered trees, with foliage of a more intense green, dot the landscape, adding depth and contrast.

Mondim de Basto, on the banks of the Tâmega, holds memories of many peoples. Although it was only founded in the 12th century, during the reign of D. Sancho I, its roots are much older.
