Overview

This bike tour in the lovely Alentejo region of Portugal combines accommodations at an authentic country guesthouse with daily guided or self-guided cycling excursions. Located in a pastoral paradise, your accommodation is a genuine _Monte_ , a traditional ancestral Alentejan farm, complete with an orchard, organic vegetable garden, sheep grazing pastures, and an ancient olive grove where cork oaks and holm oaks grow among large granite boulders. The occasional medieval village welcomes with its typical whitewashed houses trimmed in blue. If you book the self-guided tour, there is an opportunity to participate in other guided activities such as hiking, kayaking, and wine and heritage tours.
