Overview

This is designed to be a gentle and relaxing holiday with a rest day roughly halfway through the week. Cycling an average of 33km a day gives you plenty of time to explore this beautiful region as you make your way from the border of Spain to one of the Algarve’s most historic towns. Your route takes you mainly on quiet tarmac roads and occasionally dirt tracks, weaving through an array of interesting towns and villages.
