Like a feast for your senses. Our signature coastal
route takes you along breathtaking shores where the Atlantic meets
the horizon and you find yourself surrounded by the crystal blue
that is the Costa Azul. Ride through the 200 million year old national
park of Arrábida by day and indulge on tantalizing seafood
dishes and savoury regional wines by night. Each day brings a new
sweet scented wave of wild-coastal flowers to tickle your senses
and awaken the explorer inside you. Soak up the sun and coast along
the sand dune highways of the Costa Vicentina as you encounter the
ruins of Mirobriga, left by the Romans, marvel as the windmills
turn in the breeze, and try your Portuguese with delightful fishermen
mending their nets with time-weathered hands. A quick glance at
us in our bike helmets and spandex shorts always brings out a smile
or two as we pedal by. There will be plenty of time to dismount
and take in the sights of each tiny cove and fishing village, and
allow your toes the well deserved caress of a gentle surf, as we
make our way down the southern coast of Portugal. Give in to your
desires to ‘live coastal’ and allow your senses to guide
you through what will indeed be a memorable journey.
