The stunning landscapes of the Algarve: soaring cliffs, long white sandy beaches
Bordered by the Atlantic ocean, the Algarve is blessed with a glorious climate, boasts a wonderful mix of Mediterranean, Atlantic and tropical cultures and plays an important part in the history of the great Portuguese maritime discoveries of the 15th Century.
The Algarve coastline is made up of soaring cliffs, long white sandy beaches, sea caves, lagoons, barrier islands, salt marshes and flats, whilst up in the hilly hinterland nestle the whitewhased houses, rural farmhouses and fruit orchards. On this Portugal cycling holiday, we have chosen to take you to our favourite parts of the Algarve with the most stunning landscapes: the Vicentine coast to the west, and the Rio Formosa to the east, the two major natural parks of the Algarve. The cycle paths follow the wild coastline offering plenty of opportunities to cool off with a dip in the Atlantic ocean.
Our handpicked accommodations are an integral part of your trip and you will experience the true kindness and authenticity of the Portuguese people.
