📍 Alentejo 🇵🇹 Nothing can quite describe 📍 Alentejo 🇵🇹 Nothing can quite describe the magic of discovering places like this. Perched on a hill, amidst the hot rolling countryside of the Alentejo, is a tiny village, consisting of just 2-3 houses, restaurant, church and castle ruins. The site of Castro da Cola is ancient, dating back to bronze and iron ages. It was subsequently fought over and used as an outpost by the Arabs, Romans and Visigoths as time went on. Now, in contrast, it’s a place of pure peace and tranquility - cows grazing the pastures and storks nesting on the telegraph poles. The region is mostly accessible only by dirt track - perfect for exploring on a gravel bike. 😍 🇫🇷 Rien ne peut vraiment décrire la magie de découvrir des endroits comme celui-ci. Perché sur une colline, au milieu de la campagne vallonnée et chaude de l'Alentejo, se trouve un petit village composé de seulement 2-3 maisons, d'un restaurant, d'une église et de ruines de château. Le site de Castro da Cola est ancien, remontant aux âges du bronze et du fer. Il a ensuite été disputé et utilisé comme avant-poste par les Arabes, les Romains et les Wisigoths au fil du temps. Aujourd'hui, en revanche, c'est un lieu de pure paix et de tranquillité - des vaches paissant dans les pâturages et des cigognes nichant sur les poteaux télégraphiques. La région est principalement accessible uniquement par un chemin de terre - parfait pour explorer sur un vélo de gravel. 😍 #castrodacola #alentejo #velo #escapenormal #cycling #visitportugal #alentejolife #gravelportugal #gravel #gravelride #gravelbike #gravelcycling #bikepacking #gravelcyclist #graveladventure #gravelriding #gravelbikeworld #gravelfreaks #bikelife

Looking forward to the future, but being present i Looking forward to the future, but being present in the “now” - it’s hard right? I think sometimes we spend so much energy planning the next journey that we forget the one we are on day to day. There is beauty, magic and goodness everywhere, no matter if you are at the office, at home or on a bike ride. Choose to see it 👐👀 Happy Thursday! . 🇫🇷 Regarder avec impatience l’avenir, mais être présent dans le «maintenant» - c’est difficile, non? Je pense que parfois nous dépensons tellement d'énergie à planifier le prochain voyage que nous oublions celui que nous faisons au jour le jour. Il y a de la beauté, de la magie et de la bonté partout, que vous soyez au bureau, à la maison ou en vélo. Choisissez de le voir 👐👀 #beingpresent #livinginthemoment #echappeeportugal #cycling #cyclingjersey #cyclingholidays #cyclingtour #bike #velo #vélo #bikelife #cyclinglife #cyclinggirl #cyclingphotos #velogravel #séjouràvélo
