Day 2Lisbon - Szetubal | 65 km + boat

The cycle path takes you along the River Tejo to the port. After a short ferry crossing on the wide river, you reach Seixal and start your bike tour. You cross the peninsula to the south and admire the Arrábida Nature Park with its impressive rock formations. Breathtaking views of the coastline follow almost from minute to minute, with beautiful bays for swimming and sunbathing. Today your destination is Setúbal, where the Lisbon aristocracy built palaces and estates as early as the 16th century.

Day 3Setubal - Sines | 70 km + boat

In the morning, take the ferry across the Sado estuary nature reserve. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of dolphins during the crossing. The stage begins on the Troia peninsula, with its beautiful beaches and distinctive landscapes. That’s why you’ll probably be surprised by the rice fields, which you’d never have imagined in this region – a truly special sight. You’ll continue on your way, passing beautiful sandy beaches with crystal-clear waters, fields of flowers and verdant vineyards. Villages with whitewashed houses are also characteristic and particularly charming. In Sines, you can stroll along the promenade, visit the castle or enjoy the slow pace of the town.

You’ll experience a unique moment on the last stage.

It’s only a few kilometers to Sagres. Your final stop, with its vast cultural heritage, is one of the Algarve’s most important towns.
