Location

The Aniza Motocross Track is immersed in the vast and serene scenery of Herdade Aniza, a rural property that extends across the locality of Azinheira dos Barros and São Mamede do Sádão. This area, nestled in the municipality of Grândola, Setúbal district, is characterized by its predominantly rustic and tranquil Alentejo landscape. The location offers an outlook of vast horizons, where nature and open spaces are predominant, providing an environment far from urban hustle and bustle.

Its position within Herdade Aniza allows for an immersive experience in the tranquility of the Litoral Alentejo, with the track designed over natural terrain, benefiting from the gentle relief and calm atmosphere that defines this Portuguese region. It is a place where motorsport meets the vastness of the countryside.

Conception and Purpose

The Aniza Motocross Track is a meticulously designed and prepared space for the practice and competition of motocross. Far from being a natural occurrence, this infrastructure is the result of careful intervention on the land, with the purpose of creating a challenging and dynamic course. Its layout includes a variety of characteristic elements, such as jumps, tight corners, acceleration zones, and uneven terrain, all strategically placed to test the riders' skills and provide excitement.

This complex structure of dirt and natural and artificial obstacles serves as a stage for adrenaline, whether for intensive training or sporting events. Its design seeks to harmonize safety with challenge, making it suitable for both the progression of practitioners and the hosting of competitions, where the roar of engines and the skill of athletes become the central focus.

Integration into the Rural Landscape

Despite its nature being built for a specific purpose, the Aniza Motocross Track integrates into the vast landscape of Herdade Aniza, taking advantage of the terrain's characteristics. The track's layout is shaped to dialogue with the existing relief, allowing human interventions to blend, albeit markedly, with the surrounding natural environment.

Its location in Azinheira dos Barros and São Mamede do Sádão, a locality with a strong connection to the rural environment and the vast expanse of Herdade Aniza, gives it an aspect of functionality and land utilization for sporting purposes. From certain points, it is possible to observe the track stretching across the horizon, in contrast with the region's typical vegetation, evidencing the duality between motorsport and rural tranquility.
