Rated as one of the best Greenways in Europe, the Ecopista travels from Monção to Valença, Portugal. The path follows an old railway and has been converted info a Rails-To-Trails. As it was an old railway the trail is never very steep and thus is an easy bike ride. One way distance of 10mi or 16k, it can be done by riders in decent shape. The hike may be better as a one way, depends on the person. The route takes you through vineyards, and forested areas with beautiful views of the Rio Miñho (Miño ES) There is also a very interesting tower around mid-way in the smaill vialage of Lapela, read more
