Between hills, valleys and watercourses, some villages and towns emerge, proudly preserving its old habits and customs thanks to the resident population.
Due to its geography, with an average altitude between 100 and 300 m, traveling by bicycle through the typical barrocal is one of the best ways to explore this area of the Algarve.
