We had an amazing trip touring the Algarve region of Portugal. Everything was organised superbly. We have plans to do more in the future and will definitely go with them again.
From the Alentejo region to Cabo de Sao Vicente which marks the most south-westerly point of Europe, follow the 'Rota Vicentina Historical Way' by longing rugged coastline with amazing views over cliffs and large sandy beaches. Stop and relax in quaint peaceful fishing villages to taste the rich local cuisine that serves the best the sea has.
This ride leads you through a natural reserve and the 'Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina Natural Park'. Longing the ocean, you can fully enjoy the landscape and appreciate the surprises nature has to offer, such as wild flowers, bird watching. Admire breath-taking view and relax on one of the unspoilt beach or inlet.
End your trip in the Algarve region, along beautiful coastlines enjoying a mix of golden sandy beaches and rugged cliff tops, and pass through pretty villages, some of which seem unaffected by the outside world.

Did you know that Vilamoura is one of the largest tourist complexes in Europe? Tourists mainly come to Vilamoura to play golf, stay at the high-quality hotels, or visit the beaches and bars, but there is so much more to discover and enjoy! Join us on a bicycle tour of this fabulous place.
The tour starts heading in the direction of the foundation of Vilamoura, Museum Cerro da Vila. Vilamoura has ancient Roman origins from the 1st century AD. Muslims were also present in this area and they left their mark as well. This can be seen in the Cerro da Vila Museum. After that, we will cross the Marina of Vilamoura, one of the best Yacht Clubs in Europe.
Then, we will bike on the path of the dunes to get to Quarteira. Here we can find one of the main attractions not to be missed while visiting Quarteira, the splendid fish and fruit market. Quarteira was founded in 1916 and is known for its fish, beaches and regional pastries. The art of fishing is well known and very much appreciated here and has become a tourist attraction. We will continue the tour by biking next to the beach, only 1 meter away from us as we cycle. Can you feel the sea breeze on your face?
The next stop is the Old Village. The architecture here is inspired by the Portuguese architecture of the 19th century, that's why it's called the Old Village. The pedestrian streets are paved with the typical Portuguese cobblestones and the gardens are very well kept.
Many people don't know that there is a beautiful environmental park in the heart of Vilamoura, but it really exists! You can explore the park on foot or by bike. In the park, you can see sheep, horses (as a horse stable, Centro Hípico, is located nearby), storks and other bird species.
We then head back to Bike a Wish via the bike lanes, however, we will not skip the Vilamoura Casino!

The Minho and Porto biking holiday will give you an almost surrealistic “change of scenery” experience. Starting high in the mountains area, you will literally cycle down to the Atlantic Ocean stretching before you as far as you can see. This land is also blessed by the Minho, Lima and Douro rivers, each of which will accompany you at one stage or another of your ride.
This is a proud land, proud of its maritime history and of the remains of the fortifications that helped keep the Spanish well within their borders. It is the land of fine mountain cuisine and, along the cost, a wealth of fish and seafood dishes, best enjoyed with a glass of Vinho Verde. Best of all, it is a biking journey that will put you in touch with some of the nicest Europeans.
Do take every opportunity to meet the local inhabitants: fishermen and their wives, farmers, the kind lady at the local shop; listen to the stories of the owners of your accommodations. Cycle across the ancient Roman bridge at Ponte de Lima, famous for its beauty and its importance to medieval pilgrims as they made their way from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. Enjoy biking through the North of Portugal at its most authentic.
