Alentejo (Central Portugal) is dubbed the New Tuscany because of its dreamy scenery and world-class vineyards. This picturesque and charming place is where you fall in love with the whitewashed villages, medieval castles, sunbathed plains, lifestyle, and secular traditions. Biking in Alentejo is a dream. Discover the millennial history, culture, and traditions with some of the world’s best wines. Ride by the castles of Estremoz, discover the medieval heritage of Portugal and explore the marble regions of Alentejo and its Renaissance palaces. We visit the cities of Évora, Vila Viçosa and Monsaraz. The town of Évora is a UNESCO world heritage site, surrounded by sunbathed olive groves, fortified towns, and traditional villages, all of which are a joy to explore. Évora and the Alentejo offer a unique Portuguese experience with a distinctive heritage, delicious regional cuisines, and an infectious, unhurried pace of life. The Algarve is known for its blue skies and Atlantic shores; our Bike Across Portugal route traces the Atlantic coast to the land’s end at Cabo de Săo Vicente. Along the way, we pedal past ever-changing ocean views: tiny fishing villages, colorful harbors, towering sea cliffs, and golden dunes – not to mention some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe.
