At this point the asphalted section of the climb to Pico do Gralheiro ends, 1000m above sea level. The rest of the route can be completed on a road bike, but it is important to bear in mind that it is approximately 500m on a dirt road.

Roman bridge of Manhouce

Highlight • Bridge

The Roman bridge of Manhouce, built between the 2nd century BC and the 1st century AD, was part of the grand Via Cale, the imperial road that linked Emérita Augusta (today Mérida) to Bracara (today Braga), passing through Viseu.

Centuries later, this same route became the famous road of the muleteers, the itinerant merchants who, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, forged links between peoples, cultures and territories, bringing stories and goods with them.
