Day 1: Faro - Tavira
Upon arrival at Faro airport, transfer to Tavira. Depending on your flight time, you will have the opportunity to explore this charming Algarve town, famous for its decorated facades, traditional doors, and pristine beaches. You can opt for a boat excursion to Tavira Island and its long beach. Overnight stay in the heart of Tavira.

Day 2: Tavira - Santo Estevão - Santa Luzia - Tavira (25 km; +/-150 m)
After the delivery of the bicycles at your accommodation at 09:30, you will ride along the banks of the Gilão River, passing through orange, lemon, and carob groves. A stop will allow you to discover the "hell's well," a deep basin created by a waterfall, a true subtropical paradise. The route will lead you inland, through the picturesque villages of Santo Estevão and Santa Luzia, to Barril Beach. Return to Tavira for the night.

Day 3: Tavira - Fuzeta - Montecarapacho - Tavira (8 km; +/-150 m)
You will start with a visit to the colorful Tavira market to buy fresh and local products. The coastal paths run alongside the salt pans and channels of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, passing through orchards and pine forests to Fuzeta, a small fishing port on the edge of a turquoise lagoon. The return to Tavira will be via internal roads in the "barrocal," with its farms, gardens, and orchards, and the quaint village of Moncarapacho. Night in Tavira.

Day 4: Tavira - Cacela Velha - Castro Marim - Vila Real de Santo Antonio (40 km; +/-100 m)
The coastal route along the ecovia will lead you from Cacela Velha, one of the most beautiful places in the Algarve, to Castro Marim, protected by two fortresses. You will follow the Guadiana River, the border with Spain, to Vila Real de Santo Antonio, facing the small Andalusian town of Ayamonte. Overnight stay in Vila Real de Santo Antonio.

Day 5: Vila Real de Santo Antonio - Ayamonte - Vila Real de Santo Antonio (40 km; +/-100 m)

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
