Tour Overview

The Costa Vicentina, on your own terms

Five days of gravel along the protected Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park. You ride independently, on routes we know by heart, while we take care of the transfers, hotels and luggage.

From São Torpes to the Algarve

After a transfer from Lisbon and a bike fit, you set off along the coast from São Torpes. Each day brings sandy doubletrack, cliffside paths and quiet villages — Vila Nova de Milfontes, Odeceixe, Arrifana — before the ride turns east along the Algarve to Lagos and Portimão.

Freedom with peace of mind

Your dedicated GPS has the full route uploaded, so you can stop for a swim, a coffee or a long seafood lunch whenever you like. Your bags are waiting at the next hotel, and our team is a phone call away.
