Mértola – Ayamonte Loop(160km)

If you’re up for a challenge, than this route is for you. It starts in Mértola, a really traditional town on the edge of Guadiana river. The route will take you across the border do Spain and you’ll go south until you get to Ayamonte. There you’ll need to get the ferry that crosses the Guadiana river and takes you back to Portugal. The ferry goes every half an hour and costs around 5 euros. Back to Portugal you will be in Vila Real de Santo António, where you can have a bite to eat at “Padaria Vila e Mar”. Afterwards you’ll get back to Mértola on some really beautiful roads along the river.
