Routes
Route nº25 – Aljezur [Level 1]
The splendid Vicentine Coast offers scenery worthy of the silver screen, stirring strong emotions on the uphill ride from the centre of Aljezur to Arrifana.
After the first ten kilometres, when you are halfway along the route, a vast window will open out over the horizon and the powerful waves that come crashing on to the sands of beautiful beaches such as Monte Clérigo.
Turn back from Arrifana to Aljezur and head south along the EN 120 towards the uplands of the Serra de Espinhaço de Cão. Keep left until you reach the Bravura dam and get ready to face a tough climb of three kilometres up to the outskirts of Marmelete. From here, you start the descent back to the seat of the municipality, a city which was founded by the Moors in the long-distant past of the 10th century.
Distance – 55 km
Accumulated Climb – 950 m
ROUTE GPX
Route nº28 – Vila do Bispo [Level 1]
Situated at the westernmost tip of the Algarve, Vila do Bispo joins with the Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina (Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Nature Park) to attract visitors to its beautiful beaches and bays, some on the southern coast and some on the western coast.
This route will, first of all, let you explore the civil parishes of Raposeira, Figueira, and Budens. After this, you head north to the villages of Barão de São Miguel and Barão de São João. In Bensafrim, you begin the climb up to Espinhaço de Cão on a wide road that will take you to the opposite side of the hills.
The sudden change in the scenery along the Vicentine Coast will take you by surprise as you descend to the little villages of Bordeira and Carrapateira. Then, after a gentle uphill stretch, you will come to a plateau where a steady wind carries the intense scents of the still pristine natural surroundings.
Distance – 61 km
Accumulated Climb – 835 m
