Alentejo Bike Tour
About the Bike Tour
Cycling through rolling fields of wildflowers and olive trees, you'll discover an area of Portugal that many consider to be the last vestige of old Iberia.
Medieval walled villages, white-washed and trimmed in blue, dot the hilltops while plains of wheat and oats spread out below, freckled with small flocks of sheep and goats grazing under majestic cork trees. You'll be left with unforgettable memories of this lovely region - its serenity and heart-stopping beauty and, of course, days of idyllic cycling. With traffic free roads and beautiful landscapes is no surprise that the Alentejo is one of our favourite places in Portugal, but don't take it from us, the Alentejo gets praise in the press all over the world! |
