Portugal Gravel

Southern Portugal may be the best kept secret in gravel cycling. The area has a dense network of unpaved logging roads and farm tracks as well as quiet tarmac roads.

Watch this 2 minute video with images of last year’s Portugal Gravel trip.

As usual with our trips, we will be staying multiple nights in each hotel so you won’t have to pack and unpack every day. To show you the diversity of the region, we have selected three very distinct locations for the overnights stays.

The first two nights will be spent in a typical ‘quinta’, a converted farm in the countryside of the Algarve region.

The next three nights will be at the marina of Lagos, a resort town on the south coast which is known for its historic center and lively atmosphere. It is surrounded by beautiful coves with impressive cliffs and sea caves.

After cycling along the wild Atlantic coast, you will stay for two nights in picturesque Vila Nova de Milfontes in a beach hotel in the historic center.

All breakfasts and dinners are included. Portuguese food is delicious and based on simple but fresh ingredients.

We have gravel bikes available for rent if you don’t have a suitable bike or prefer not to travel with a bike. Please contact us for details.

Different ride options in terms of length and difficulty are available on all days, except for the two days where we are cycling to the next hotel.

See our brochure for full trip details.
