Taking advantage of the end of summer, I took a circular route of more than 50km around Serra da Arga, to enjoy the contrasts that characterize this area.
I started the tour through the historic Lima Valley, alluvial plain, where we see the old Baroque Manor houses associated with wine production and the flat banks of the Lima River, with the Serra d'Arga as a backdrop. On this route, we travel through landscapes as different as the river valleys and the rocky and wild areas of one of the most iconic mountains in the whole of Minho.
For this I used my routine personal transport, the electric unicycle, because it allows me to have a closer contact with nature, the silence and simplicity of this electric wheel makes everything easier.
