Overview

Experience the best of Portugal's countryside and immerse yourself in the relaxed rural way of life on a tour that was previously known as 'Cycling in Paradise'. Take three diverse cycle routes visiting some of Europe's largest and oldest megalithic monuments, ride past Roman ruins, discover ancient watermills and take in the views from hilltop castles. A region of rich gastronomy, you'll have time to stop off at wine cellars and traditional villages renowned for their rustic meat pies, olives and fresh herbs. The World Heritage sites of Évora and the city’s 14th-century walls, winding streets and excellent restaurants are well worth a visit.
