The south of Portugal is extremely picturesque. There are two regions here: at the far south is the Algarve, you're probably familiar with its famous sandy coves and rugged beachside cliffs; and above it is the Alentejo region, which is teeming with sparse, open countryside, interesting historical monuments, and home to some of Portugal's finest beaches.

 

You can cycle from the Alentejo to the Algarve on our self guided bike tour, or walk between them on the Rota Vicentina trail. For inspiration, we recommend watching the below videos which highlight the glorious scenery, sunny beaches, ancient sites, and charming alleys that are waiting to be discovered by you.
