Itinerary
Transfer from Lisbon to São Pedro de Moel
Welcome to Lisbon!
Our guide will be ready to pick you up at the Lisbon airport and drive you to São Pedro de Moel. After that, you will have your welcome briefing and bike fitting.
Bike from São Pedro de Moel to Óbidos
Your first day will be a ride that passes through some pine forests and beautiful beaches.
Today you will discover a UNESCO Heritage Medieval walled town! After a traditional breakfast, it’s time to leave São Pedro de Moel and ride along the coast through magnificent pine forests and beautiful beaches. Visit Nazaré, a typical fisherman village, full of colors, where the daily catch is still dried off under the sun. Continue riding close to the sea and pass by a beautiful bay at Foz do Arelho. Then, go inland and ride to the medieval town of Óbidos, where you will discover one of the most picturesque and well-preserved castles in Portugal. Feel the middle-aged theme in the air as you let this magical place put a spell on you. Once in Óbidos, remember to drink the bright red Ginja in the little dark chocolate cup, a delicious tradition that you cannot miss.
Bike from Óbidos to Peniche
This day will begin close to the lagoon of Óbidos, which eventually connects to the ocean, creating a wonderful place with a gorgeous beach.
As you continue heading south, you will discover great rock formations, the Carvoeiro cape, and the incredible town of Peniche, which rests on a peninsula. On this day, do not forget to enjoy the numerous restaurants in Peniche as they serve and an outstanding variety of fresh fish and seafood.
Bike from Peniche to Ericeira
Today, you will be starting by the sea.
However, after a short ride, you will head back inland, where an entirely different scenery presents itself. Authentic and rustic Portuguese villages with white houses and red roofs surrounded by the beautiful countryside that will invigorate you. As you pass through incredible valleys of limestone and vibrant, green Mediterranean vegetation, you will approach your final destination - Ericeira, the Portuguese Mecca of the surf. Ericeira is also one of the most beautiful fishing villages in Portugal and will be your home for the night.
Bike from Ericeira to Sintra
The Sintra Natural Park and its hills will be the set for today's adventures, which will involve a route that is a constant up-and-down.
However, before, delight yourself with some of the beautiful places Sintra has to offer, such as Monserrate Palace. Here, you can stop and visit a unique and exquisite example of Romanticism. Once you arrive at the village of Sintra (UNESCO World Heritage Site), you will have a whole free day to explore and discover its mystique. We recommend visiting the astonishing Pena Palace, a fairytale palace with a sequence of fantasy-like domes, towers, ramparts, and walkways on one of the highest mountain peaks of Sintra.
Bike from Sintra to Cascais
Discover the impressive beaches nestling between the cliffs that have been artistically sculpted by the water and wind.
On the last day of biking, you will cross the hills all the way to the top, close to the mystical Convento dos Capuchos, which is installed in the rock and lined with cork. As you continue, your ride will take you to the Atlantic ocean, where you will arrive at the westernmost point in continental Europe - Cape Roca, a promontory rising 150 meters above ocean. Ride along the coast and finally arrive at Cascais, a lovely seaside town.
Transfer from Cascais to Lisbon
That's it! It went by so fast.
Today, it is time to gather all your memories, luggage, belongings and say goodbye to Portugal. It has been a great adventure, and we would love for you to come and discover more of Portugal's Nature Trails!
