Overview

Eurovelo 1 is an established long-distance cycling route that stretches across Europe. The Portuguese section covers the whole width of the Algarve and heads up the West Coast to Lisbon and beyond. Algarve Bike Holidays is proud to be a part of this fantastic venture and this self-guided holiday allows you to embrace some of the best of the Eurovelo 1 that is right on our doorstep. The route between Vila Real de Santo António and Sagres is also part of the Ecovia do Litoral, a cycle route that covers a distance of 214 kilometres, mostly hugging the coast. Each day brings a new experience and, as this is a self-guided holiday, you are your own boss, so you can go at your own pace and explore as much as you like.
