This full day starts with a downhill cycling trip. 60 % of this trip is downhill on quiet and good roads and leads you through beautiful scenery with little hillside villages. After a good explanation you will cycle back to the coast…easy going downhill ! While you descend the Fóia on goods roads, you will be cycling downhill on the back roads of the Serra de Monchique. Than we head towards the little, charming mountain village of Casais, where a little break is planned.

After this break we head further south with a long descend with spectacular views. The rest is cross country biking through beautiful valleys with quiet gravel roads. Cycling close to little farms we end the cycle trip in the village of Mexilhoeira Grande where a well deserved warm lunch is waiting for you.

After lunch you will step in a Canadian canoe
and peddle on the Ria de Alvor in one hour to
the charming fishing village of Alvor. From
here we will drive you back to our shop. The
Ria de Alvor is meandering through a quiet
landscape where local fishermen find their
shell fish and you might spot a spoonbill,
some comrons and sometimes storks.

Start and finish of the trip is at our shop at the EN 125 near Mexilhoeira Grande. This is easy to find between Portimão and Lagos. From the shop we bring you up the mountain, from where we cycle back down to the coast. Total 35 km/23 miles, net cycling time approximately 3hr00mins.
