A bike tour in Alentejo is a celebration of simple and tasteful traditions, fit for riders of different experience levels who want to discover the authentic Portugal. Here, you'll get to ride to the top of fortresses, where medieval castles overlook the never-ending plains, immerse in a melting pot of pre-historic, roman, moorish and medieval cultures and enjoy the rural setting where wine, olive oil and cork are kings. The region's laidback atmosphere and countryside back roads provide the perfect setting for a journey back in time - Alentejo's rolling hills are gentle on the legs and the spirit.
From start to finish this was a professionally orchestrated tour. The hotels were spectacular, particularly Convento de espinheiro and São Lourenço do Barrocal ( we could have spent a week in this location!). The riding was truly incredible - we have cycled on self-guided trips in multiple European countries and domestically, and this was some of the most unique and safe riding we have ever experienced. On some or the roads, you often could forget that cars occasionally also used the road. High quality scott addict road bikes with ultegra components were provided in excellent condition. Pedro provide a diligent briefing with great recommendations for stops and restaurants in multiple locations. We will return to do the Douro valley!
We had a fantastic bike tour in Mallorca with team Ricardo and Juan. Our e-bikes were top of the line assisting us in ultra hot 106 degrees and amazing ‘climbs’ followed by stunning switchback downhills. Our cycling routes are some of the best in Spain. Hotels were beautiful and provided plenty of serious r&r between rides (Cava was on the breakfast menu!). Mallorca is a cyclists’ heaven. Do this trip while you can. You won’t be disappointed!
