BIKE TOURS ALGARVE PORTUGAL

Why is the Algarve One of Portugal’s Best Cycling Regions?

Some places were simply made to be explored on two wheels… 

The Algarve coast is one of them!

Here, golden beaches, cliffs and inland villages come together in perfect harmony… This corner of southern Portugal offers cycling routes full of character and contrast, with a rich variety of landscapes and stories.

During our bike tours in the Algarve, the terrain is quite diverse, including smooth coastal roads and quiet rolling hills.

Off-road trails will take you through sleepy towns, vineyards and ocean bluffs where the scent of salt hangs in the air. 

And of course we can’t forget this region’s warm hospitality and mild weather… All these elements combined make up for any cyclist’s dream.

Rugged Cliffs, Sunny Days & Charming Villages

Ride with the Atlantic on your left and wild fig trees on your right. 

One moment you're tracing cliffside roads with panoramic sea views... 

The next moment, you’re gliding past dry stone walls, citrus groves and picturesque houses with hand-painted tiles.

Many trails follow scenic bike paths through protected areas and the Algarve’s contrasts are part of its charm:

• Beaches and farmland;
• Quiet and celebration;
• Fishermen casting lines at dawn and cobbled villages that haven’t changed in generations.

Also, the Algarve greets riders with soft winters, sunny springs and an unusually long cycling season. 

Rain is rare. 

Most days have blue and sunny skies

Even better? You’ll ride through open countryside and quiet backroads where it sometimes feels like you’re the only one around. 

Our bike tours in Algarve Portugal represent slow travel at its finest: warm, wide open and with time to look around and simply enjoy the ride…
