Overview

Push your limits in Sagres and Serra de Monchique in the Algarve, pro cycling’s best-kept secret. Discover the captivating world of cycling in Portugal's Algarve region. Set between a low-elevation mountain range to the north and the Atlantic coast to the south and west, this area boasts a unique blend of landscapes. Pedal through the picturesque terrain, and traverse serene inland roads bordered by lush orange and almond orchards, fig, and carob trees along your way to Europe’s most southwesterly points of Cabo de São Vicente and Sagres. Conquer the heights of Fóia, the highest point in the Algarve, nestled in the Serra de Monchique. Then take on the emblematic climb to Malhão, the peak of the Serra do Caldeirão. Embrace the beauty, rich culture, and adventure this remarkable region has to offer.
