It is a peaceful ride on gently rolling hills, 10 km of which is on dirt roads. You will cycle past small farms, eventually reaching Graça do Divor, a beautiful and well-preserved white and blue village. This is a wonderful place to stop for a drink and try delicious (and famous) meat pies. Following your refreshment, you continue to the village of Arraiolos, famous for its rich historical center, castle, and embroidered wool rugs and carpets which have been made since the Middle Ages.

After, you ride into the country discovering beautiful holm oak forests and vast meadows, a peaceful landscape of grazing cattle, and cheerful birds.

A morning transfer will take you to Reguengos from which you cycle to medieval Monsaraz, perched high on a hill, overlooking the Guadiana River. The view spreads below for miles. As you enter the village, surrounded by castle walls, it is as though you have stepped back in time. The houses are made of white Schist with blinding white walls. In the area surrounding Monsaraz are several fascinating megalith and Dolman monuments. These symbolic remains date back to between 4.000 and 2.000 years BC.

Route 7: Wine and marble
You begin in Estremoz, an unforgettable city. It is highly recommended that you climb to the top of the marble donjon tower, from the 14th century, to take in the impressive views. From here you ride to the fantastic Villa Viçosa, where the marble used gives an aristocratic look to the village and you can visit the Ducal Palace, built between 1502 and 1700, or the marble museum.Continue through the marble land, visit a marble quarry, and ride to Alandroal, where marble, the white gold, continues to be the king. You then ride to Terena, where you cycle through the flowery center. The ride ends in the amazing fortified sanctuary of Srª da Boa Nova. Even if churches are not your thing, you'll enjoy this one!
Distance:
19 mi. (30 km) if you cycle from Estremoz to Vila Viçosa

Extra Info
Skill Level — Moderate
This is a moderate guided or self-guided hotel-based tour on rolling hills. You will have sections of dirt road as well as an occasional bike trail. The average daily mileage is approximately 29 mi. (47 km) and elevation gain is 2,200 feet or 700 m. There are many options for your cycling itineraries and difficulty can range from easy-moderate or even more difficult, depending on how you design your itinerary.
Airport Info

Local Travel
Transfers from Lisbon airport to Evora are available for a supplement. There is a bus transfer from Evora bus station on the last day included in the tour price. Take a taxi from the airport to Lisbon bus station and from there, bus to Evora. Travel time is about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Climate
Portugal has a mild Mediterranean climate with over 300 days of sun per year! The summer season is six months long, lasting from May to October. Though this tour is offered year-round, the best time for your cycling tour would be March through October. The spring months of April/May or the Autumn months of September/October generally provide the best weather for cycling. Portugal is often quite hot and very humid in the summer months. It’s also important to note that because Portugal sits on the Atlantic coast, the weather can change rapidly and you will need to take rain gear regardless of what time of year you choose to cycle. If cycling in the late fall and winter months, please pack accordingly. Do check local conditions prior to your arrival. Below you will find monthly weather averages for the region.
Day of Rest
Any day can be designated a day of rest!
Remarks
Bikes
Do note that you are expected to change your own flat tire and do basic bike maintenance if needed on your ride. You will be charged a fee if you need assistance for basic services. Emergency assistance will be a phone call away.
Meals
Extra dinners can be included on request (at an additional cost of approx. €25 per person - minimum x2 people required). There is also one restaurant 2 km from the farmhouse, with the rest in the city (8 kms away). We recommend guests eat out on some of the nights, as it is a really pleasant experience. A taxi to the city costs approximately €11 per way. You will be provided with suggestions for lunch stops and where to eat out. Alternatively, picnic lunches can be arranged by the farmhouse on request (at an additional cost of approx €15). Extra meals can be arranged and it’s best to be booked in advance and paid on site.
Route activities
Certain of the routes have additional activities that can be included at an additional cost like wine tastings, degustations, etc. At booking, we will send you a list of possible additional activities that can be included. These can either be added to your final invoice or paid on arrival. In order to guarantee space, we recommend that these be pre-booked before arrival to avoid disappointment.Important to know
