    Rocky trails up in the hills behind Silves. Some steep acents and decents where Low range gearing would be advisable. If very wet weather probably would be dangerous. Great on a nice day with incredible views!

    The views are definitely stunning! Towards the end of the route there are some very narrow sections (we are 1,80m wide)....
