Overview
The Portugal Wild Coast is a cross country or on-road bike tour along one of the most beautiful coastlines of Portugal. From the outskirts of Lisbon to the southernmost tip of Europe, you’ll discover and admire the natural beauty of the varied scenery, offering stunning coastal views and crossing through two nature reserves.
You will discover some small fishing villages and some abandoned fortresses which are reminiscent of the time when this coast was ravaged by pirates! The trip finishes at the most westerly point in Europe, Cape São Vincente, which adds a dramatic and historical flair to this wonderful trip.
This tour is not for the faint of heart, as you will cycle mountain trails and varied off-road terrain with steep ascents and descents. If you do want to miss out on this incredible itinerary, there is an on-road version that you can request but please keep in mind that some of the dirt trails lead to incredible cliff-top vistas. You can opt to rent a GPS device or request the GPS tracks and choose an alternative route on any given day if necessary.
Highlights
- Arrabida Natural Park
- Stunning views of the Atlantic
- Sandy beaches of Alentejano Natural Reserve
- Endemic stork nests hanging from the cliffs
- Delicious traditional food and fresh fish
