A pleasant climb in a rather unusual mountain environment. Rather than take the same route down to Manteigas through a magnificent valley. From there, climb a small pass (it's really cool in terms of percentage) towards Sabugueiro and back to Seia.... read more

Montée agréable dans un environnement montagne assez insolite. Plutôt que de descendre par le même itinéraire rejoindre Manteigas par une magnifique vallée. De là remontée un petit col (c’est vraiment cool niveau pourcentage) direction Sabugueiro et retour à Seia.
