Historical Villages - Center-Based Bike Tour

Bike Tour 2: Castelo Rodrigo | Almeida Loop (48 km)
Today will take you to one of the most important Historical Villages of Portugal, Almeida. Located on a vast plateau overlooking the Côa River, Almeida was one of the most important fortresses during the Modern Age. It constitutes an original exemplar of military architecture, with its twelve-point star shape from the 17th century.
Overnight in Castelo Rodrigo.

Bike Tour 3: Vale de Afonsinho | Algodres | Vilar de Amargo | Castelo Rodrigo Loop (41 km)
When you reach the third stage, you will continue by bicycle through typical Beirã villages such as Vale do Afonsinho, Algodres and Vilar de Amargo while you enjoy the beautiful landscapes of cultivation fields and cycle through secondary roads. Vale de Afonsinho holds one of the ancient rock art centres of the Côa Valley - this valley was classified by UNESCO in 1998 as a World Heritage Site.
Overnight in Castelo Rodrigo.

Bike Tour 4: Castelo Rodrigo | Penha de Águia | Cidadelhe | Juízo (34 km)
Leaving Castelo Rodrigo behind, today you will pedal towards the village of Juízo.
You'll have the chance to visit the village of Penha da Águia, with a beautiful “Igreja Matriz” - Mother church -, where the graves carved in rocks from various sources stand out. The Côa river, the castle tower and the eagle-shaped baroque are places of scenic interest.
A small climb is the next smooth challenge until Cidadelhe.
Part of Cidadelhe is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, due to the rock figures, engraved in granite, dating back to Prehistory. 
Cidadelhe belongs to the Vale do Côa Archaeological Park area and sits on top of a hill, over 500 meters high, between the Massueime and Côa rivers. It was the writer José Saramago who called Cidadelhe the “heel of the world”, because it is located at the northern end of the municipality, and it thus became known as such.
Its view of the Côa Valley from the top of the mountain is capable of leaving us speechless. It is very close to the beautiful Aldeia do Juízo, where you'll sleep tonight.
Overnight in Juízo village.

Bike Tour 5: Juízo | Longroiva | Mêda | Marialva | Juízo Loop (53 km)
Short version: Juízo | Marialva | Juízo (40 km)

The streets are lined with buildings that have stood the test of time and lead to the citadel, surrounded by walls in whose ruins it is easy to lose track of time. You'll return to Juízo through some beautiful roads, where the surrounding nature is in a pure state and where some of the country's deepest cultural roots are found.
