Lisbon
Portugal
Setubal
Portugal’s Blue Coast
Milfontes
Coasting along quiet back roads from Lisbon to the brilliant beaches of the Algarve, we’ll experience a memorable montage of Portugal: magnificent coastal seascapes, pastoral farmlands, working windmills, tiny fishing villages and historical monuments such as Henry the Navigator’s Navigational School perched on a wild headland over the Algarve’s blue waters. Lodgings include a 16th century manor house, a luxurious country farm and
Lagos
two nights in our favorite little castle overlooking a lovely estuary.
Trip Details
“Will and I did the Portugal - Lisbon to Algarve - ride ... and it was a delight. Yes, we’d be glad to talk to anyone who wanted more info and I’ll answer any question or just heartily recommend the trip! Will is an avid bicyclist and I am a more casual biker and this trip was great for us both. Of course, the castle was a definite hi-light but we brought home many wonderful stories to tell Loved it.” Linda & Will Deboer, MN, usa
