Itinerary Highlights

APRIL 5: Travel day

Please arrange your own travel, keeping in mind that your outbound flight will be to Lisbon, while the return flight departs from Faro.

We begin with a short warm-up ride to a ferry crossing at Tróia, leading you along Portugal’s famed surfer coast to Porto Covo. Enjoy ocean views, rolling curves, and unique coastal stops along the way. We’ll end the day at Porto Covo, set right on the beach.
Following the idyllic, mostly flat coastal route, we head south to Sagres. Known for its “End of the World” cliffs, this picturesque town provides striking Atlantic views and the perfect finish to a scenic day.
Starting flat, we’ll tackle rolling hills towards Monchique, the Algarve’s highest point. Conquer the climb to Fóia and enjoy rewarding views before a thrilling downhill ride to our cozy base camp, a 4-star hotel near Albufeira.
Rest and recover with a casual ride into Albufeira’s historic center. We’ll lunch at our favorite Mexican Restaurant and will enjoy the lively atmosphere.
Our 90 km loop takes us east towards Faro, exploring more of the Algarve’s coast and countryside.
On the final two days, we’ll explore flexible loops of +/- 100km around Albufeira, allowing us to tailor the routes based on the group’s energy and goals. These loops will feature scenic coastal roads and some of the Algarve’s renowned climbs, including Malhão, a famous ascent tackled by pros in the Tour of Algarve. Test your endurance, savor the thrill of these legendary routes, and take in the incredible views as we celebrate the last days of this unforgettable cycling experience.

Please arrange your own travel, keeping in mind that your return flight departs from Faro.

This added detail highlights the chance to ride on pro-level climbs, which should appeal to participants looking for a mix of challenging and scenic routes.
