Cycling the Algarve
The Algarve region in Portugal is southern Europe in a small package, all in one place. Nestled along the southern coast, it boasts a rich past shaped the Phoenicians, Romans, and Moors who all left indelible imprints on its architecture, agriculture, and traditions. Notably, the Moors, during their 500-year reign, endowed the region with iconic whitewashed buildings, almond groves, and a legacy of intricate tilework. The Age of Discovery further emphasized the Algarve’s importance, with explorers like Henry the Navigator launching voyages from its shores, transforming the region into a hub of maritime exploration.
Golden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and turquoise waters do its coastal landscape, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
It’s classic Mediterranean cuisine, celebrated for its seafood stews, fresh produce, and almond pastries makes for excellent energy during any sort of cycling adventure. Today, while the Algarve is renowned for its golden beaches and golf resorts, its true essence lies in its historical towns, ancient fortresses, and fresh food.
The Algarve’s blend of history, natural beauty, and warm hospitality make it a highly sought after bicycling destination.
