Known for its dramatic coastline and breath-taking views of the Atlantic ocean from cliff-top roads. Cyclists can choose to take relaxing rides along the coast or go up a gear and turn inland to explore the hills and traditional villages. Or, maybe coast through some of the world’s largest cork oak forests. Whatever your level, you can immerse yourself in the Algarve’s diverse cultural influences. Visit ancient Moorish forts, or explore the picturesque towns of Tavira or Lagos. Wander through delightful cobbled streets lined with colourful tiled houses. The local cuisine is a foodie’s heaven. Try the cataplana (seafood stew), just one of many culinary delights. And after a day’s cycling you will have certainly earned one of those scrumptious pasties.
The Algarve boasts a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. The best time for cycling is in spring (March to May), or autumn (September to November) when temperatures are more comfortable and without the crowds. The terrain varies, from flat coastal roads, to the more challenging ascents in the region’s hilly interior. Making the Algarve a perfect destination for both beginners and experienced cyclists.
Beyond cycling, the Algarve is a haven for nature lovers and a boat tour along the coast will take you to hidden caves and grottoes. The historic town of Silves with its Moorish castle is a must for culture vultures; or simply relax on exquisite golden beaches. Fabulous landscapes, coastal routes, a rich cultural history and good food, make the Algarve a perfect choice for cyclists of all abilities.
