Braga

Braga's runners navigate a compact hilly centre around the baroque Sanctuary of Bom Jesus, with steep climbs of 200m+ common on local routes; the city sits on the Cávado river valley, which defines training loops north toward Guarda. Cyclists head to the surrounding terrain for the MTB Raid SodiGás – Margens do Cávado, a 45km technical ride that follows the river, and the Rota da Laranja for steadier road cycling around the orange groves of the Minho region.
