Please find below an impression of the routes starting in Mexilhoeira Grande, both from our shop and from the Cyclist Guesthouse:

Green route, Monchique:
This route is heading 350 meters above sea level, with some hard climbs. Therefore much condition is required, however the technical difficulty grade is low. This route is on tarmac roads and you will cycle in the mainland of Portugal with only few buildings in small villages.

Orange route, Barragem de Bravura:
Almost the entire route is off road and therefore you will see few buildings during the 35 kilometres you are cycling. This route requires a good condition and you surely need some experience with mountain biking.

Blue route, Alvor:
This route is heading next to the coast and in rural areas of Portugal and therefore you will see much buildings, especially next to the coast. Almost the entire route is on tarmac roads and only a few hills have to be climbed, so only little experience with cycling is required.

Black route, Lagos:
While cycling to Meia Praia and Ponte de Piedade you will cycle off road and on normal tarmac roads. Lagos is a one of the most popular tourist cities in the Algarve with many buildings. This route contains few climbs and has a distance of 40 kilometre.

Yellow route, Barão São João:
This flat route is leads you to the backyards of the Algarve, heading from village to village. Only in the end you will cycle a short part on gravel roads and therefore the route is not technical. Condition is required, since there are a few climbs.

Red route, Silves:
The route to Silves has beautiful views and you can visit the castle of Silves. While cycling on mostly tarmac roads you will need experience and a good condition to do this 45 kilometre long trip. During the trip you will see few buildings, since you are cycling in the rural landscape of the Algarve.
