WEST ALGARVE - MOUNTAINS TO SEA
The Monchique Bio Park and the Cape St. Vincent Natural Park

This 7 night holiday offers you the opportunity to explore the unspoilt west Algarve beginning in the hills of the Serra de Monchique – the heart of the Monchique bio park. Here you have the opportunity to cycle around the hills before heading downhill & along the Seixe valley to Odeceixe village.

The village lies just inland from the sea but in the Cape St Vincent Natural Park and for the remainder of your holiday your routes are all within the Park. You have a day to explore the coastline here before we transfer you south to ‘Lovers beach’ where you cycle the magnificent Pontal headland before travelling to Cape St Vincent (considered by the Romans to be the ‘end of the world’) and the port of Sagres.

From here you cycle the southern margins of the Park exploring unspoilt beaches and the standing stones (3,000BC) of Monte das Amantes before finishing at the fishing village of Salema

CENTRAL ALGARVE - IN THE TRACKS OF THE MOORSYou have chance to explore the estuary before leaving to travel eastwards, passing though a landscape that owes a great deal to the inventiveness of the Moors during their occupation.

Your next stop is the town of Silves, the old Moorish capital of Portugal where their magnificent red sandstone castle has been restored and recent excavations have exposed other evidence of their advance society such as the steam rooms and baths. From here you pass through Paderne with its castle remains (the oldest in the Algarve) and the town of Loule which was occupied by the Romans and Moors before your journey ends at the charming village of Estoi just north of Far Traditional Algarve at its Best

This 7 night holiday begins in a charming village where during the Moorish occupation the local people made their living from gathering shell fish from the nearby Alvor estuary
