Algarve Cycling Short Break

  • Enjoy a mix of inland and coastal cycling routes
  • Pedal past limestone cliffs and wild beaches for refreshing dips
  • Explore Ria Formosa Natural Park, a wild paradise
  • Indulge in traditional and delicious Portuguese cuisine
  • Explore the hidden inland villages of the “real” Algarve
Discover the wild side of the Algarve, pedalling in its rolling hills and past dramatic cliffs and wild beaches along its coast. Explore hidden villages and towns, and be at one with nature as you cycle through the Ria Formosa Natural Park, home to a flock of majestic pink flamingos and a variety of birdlife amongst its pristine wetlands and sand dunes. This is the true Algarve, where the beach crowds are non-existent and where you cycle through a mixture of wonderful inland and coastal scenery. Enjoy the Portuguese culture and cuisine, whether it's in the traditional town of Tavira with its Moorish influences and labyrinth of cobbled streets, or at the waterfront of the Algarve's capital, Faro.
