A little gem on the Algarve coast!

After a great and filling breakfast, you will start today’s journey in Tavira and ride along the incredible Ria Formosa, one of the most beautiful natural parks in the country. An absolute paradise for birdwatchers and part of the Natura 2000 Network. Today's views will provide some epic sights. You will also pass by Fuzeta, a fishing village full of character, famous for its traditional clay pottery and lively harbor.

Cycle from Faro to Vilamoura

Head north and roll through the small ups and downs of the hills close to the Algarve mountain range.

After leaving Faro, you will ride along the city's riverside park, a route that will take you from the city center to the well-known Ludo. Located in the Ria Formosa, Ludo is one of the most popular trails because it is possible to find flamingos and other preserved species. This trail follows the border between the land environment and the lagoon system of Ria Formosa, letting you visit different habitats: forest areas, salt marshes, and saltpans. The day ends at Vilamoura, one of the most prestigious resorts in Portugal. Visit its beautiful marina, the perfect place to enjoy the sunset while having a delicious dinner.

Cycle from Carvoeiro to Silves

Time to leave the coast behind and explore the Algarve's interior for a while.

From here, you will follow the Arade River until you arrive at the historic Moorish town of Silves. You will pass through two small cities in the middle of your journey today: Estômbar and Lagoa. It may be a good opportunity to stop for lunch. Further on, you will pass through a golf field, and you will notice that the landscape starts to lose that coast characteristic and starts to get greener. That means you are getting closer to your destination today. If you still have energy left, check out Ribeira do Arade Dam, a few kilometers from your hotel.

Eventually, you will arrive at the sea at an incredibly long beach by the bay filled with golden sand called "Meia Praia" and then in the city of Lagos, one of the oldest towns in the Algarve.
