Alentejo (Central Portugal) is often dubbed as the New Tuscany, because of its amazing wine region with mesmerizing nature and enchanting views. This picturesque and charming place, is where you’ll fall in love with the whitewashed villages, medieval castles, sunbathed plains and the secular traditions and lifestyle. Biking in Alentejo is a dream. Here you’ll get to discover the millennial history, culture, and traditions with some of the world’s best wines. We will ride by castles and monasteries of Estremoz, discover the medieval heritage of Portugal, explore the marble regions of Alentejo and its renaissance palaces. We will visit cities like Evora, Villa Vicosa and Monsaraz (all UNESCO world heritage sites). Evora is surrounded by the Alentejo, a region of sun-baked olive groves, fortified towns and traditional villages, all of which are a joy to explore from Evora. Evora and the Alentejo offer a truly 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’ll pedal past ever-changing ocean views: tiny fishing villages, colorful harbors, towering sea cliffs, and golden sand dunes – not to mention some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe.
