Keen Tours

Camiño de Santiago across Gerês by E-Mountain Bike - Stage 1

---

Leaving Braga’s Cathedral behind we will ride through a progressive greener landscape, from the buzz of the old city to the quietude of the rural outskirts. This stage will allow you to discover a church from the VI century and a benedict monastery from the XVIII century.

Mid way you will start enjoying the Geira – Via Nova, a two millennia old roman road linking Braga to Astorga. Following its path, the Geira will allow you to access wonderful views and discover bucolic sites as it roams mid-slope between trees and stone walls.
