Hills between Pazos and Salvaterra de Miño

The ride

From Ponteareas you roll out on a ride of just over eighty kilometres, with the climbing spread across the day. The route soon reaches the Río Tea and the ZEC Río Tea nature reserve, then follows the water toward the Río Minho nature reserve. Later you pass the ZEC Gándaras de Budiño nature reserve and the Pazo dos Marqueses de Mos manor before turning back to Ponteareas. The surface is almost entirely paved, so the day is about the places rather than the gravel.
