Portugal's rural heartland on two wheels
We'll explore Portugal's rural heartland, cycling through medieval villages, castles, and lush landscapes. We'll savor a mix of Michelin-starred dining and authentic local cuisine, best enjoyed at a slower pace.
From Évora to the golden plains
Our journey begins in Évora, a historic town home to the sinister Chapel of Bones. From here, we ride along scenic bike lanes that once served as railways. The three wineries we visit — ranging from a medieval building to a modern bunker — offer exceptional wines, blending tradition and innovation.
Luxury meets history
We visit castles, stay in one that was once home to royalty, and explore a horse farm where the Lusitano breed thrives. Our adventure culminates in Marvão, a hilltop town with panoramic views that inspired Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago to declare: “From Marvão, you can see the whole world.”
