Road Bike throughout the Algarve

To arrive to Sagres there are 2 options: fly to Faro and take the train or bus to Sagres; or fly to Lisbon and get the train to Sagres (this second option is the longest one).

We will meet you at the hotel for a briefing and delivery of the material.

Within one of the most impressive scenery of the Algarve, lays the small village of Sagres, with its sea cliffs and the 15th century fortress high above the ocean. Its isolated beauty and its wild and windy beaches set Sagres apart from the other villages in the Algarve. It’s especially popular amongst sunbathers and surfers. Away from the holiday villas, bars and restaurants, is the busy port and the lively marina.

From the tip of Ponta de Sagres up the coast to cape “Cabo Sao Vincente” there are great views. Today the cape is better known for its lighthouse with one of the most powerful lamps in Europe.

Highlights of the day: São Vicente Cape and Lighthouse, Martinhal beach, Beliche beach, Sagres Fortress, Mareta beach, try Sagres beer

In Lagos, everything seems to invite you to the beach and the simple pleasures of life! But there are also stories of sailors and pirates, the result of a relationship with the sea that is maintained in the colorful trawlers that still bring fish to the market, and the Marina where yachts from all over the world are moored. From the long Avenida dos Descobrimentos, you can enjoy the city's profile and the busy and lively Marina. This avenue leads to the sea and the beaches, which are amongst the most beautiful in the Algarve. On the other side, there is a succession of smaller beaches with clear waters, to which the rocks carved out by erosion have lent a stunning beauty. Lagos is full of small havens waiting to be discovered!

Located in the estuary of the River Arade, Portimão is known for its excellent sandy beaches with plenty of warm, calm waters, which make it a very alluring holiday destination. Portimão has a long fishing tradition that developed particularly between the 19th and 20th centuries, with the advent of the canning industry and tourism. Most of the buildings that you see in the streets and squares of the historic centre are from this period. Pay attention to the famous “Praia da Rocha”, and you’ll understand why is so popular amongst locals and tourists!
