You will be picked up from Lisbon or Faro airport and transferred to your hotel in the charming town of Vila Nova de Milfontes on the Alentejo coast. The rest of the day is yours to explore the town, head for the lovely beach or just relax.

Your first ride leads you across the Mira River and out into open countryside. Before long you leave the paved road and follow a network of gravel paths through a rural landscape to the small village of Almograve. Here you may be tempted to make a small detour to admire or spend time on the lovely beach nearby. A few more kilometres of pleasant easy cycling deliver you to the charming little village of Cavaleiro. Take time to take in the old lighthouse on the coast at Cape Sardāo before pedalling on along the Atlantic Coast to your overnight stop in Touril.

Today's ride is all about the rugged coastline, beautiful beaches and wonderful sea views. You'll be following a coastal track for much of the ride and you'll find yourself stopping regularly to fish out the camera to capture yet another amazing scene. This is scenic cycling at its best as the coastline is very sparsely populated. Stop for a coffee in Praia da Zambujeira do Mar before pedalling on past a succession of inviting bays and beaches. The final panorama, across the river mouth of the Seixe River, with its huge sand spit, is perhaps the most impressive of the day. From here it's a short ride inland along the river to the pleasant little town of Odeceixe, where you will spend the night.

Today the route leads you away from the coast along a river valley to the old town of Aljezur. Prior to the 1722 earthquake, Aljezur was a busy trading port, the famous caravel ships would navigate their way up the deep river laden with goods. Today the river is a small stream but Aljezur still entices visitors with its medieval castle and narrow, winding streets. Afterwards the route heads back towards the coast. The beautiful beach at Praia de Monte Clerigo will definitely tempt you to stop and feel the sand between your toes as from here it's not far to your overnight stop in the coastal village of Arrifana.

After breakfast the route leads you inland once more and you begin to follow a quite lane across gently rolling terrain. Beach lovers are in for a treat today as the route then delivers you to the incredible Bordeira Beach. The views of the beach and coastline from the wooden walkway on the elevated bluff will live long in the memory. The route then leads you inland once more, past the pleasant hilltop town of Carrapateira and into an extensive pine forest. The route ducks and weaves through the peaceful countryside before delivering you to your charming overnight accommodation in Pedralva.

Your final day's cycling is aptly very special with more unforgettable scenery. A final flourish of beautiful bays and gorgeous beaches fills your morning before you finally run out of land at Cape Sāo Vicente, the south westernmost point of Continental Europe. It really is a quite a dramatic scene and evokes images of sailors and pilgrims who sailed past here into the unknown in days gone by. A final ride along the Algarve coast brings you to the seaside town of Sagres where you will be spoilt for choice for nice restaurants and bars to celebrate completing your Portuguese cycling adventure.

After breakfast it's time to head for home or your next adventure. A transfer to Lisbon or Faro airport is included in your package.
