There is an indisputable reason why the Algarve is one of the most popular tourist regions in Europe. Well, actually several. From its picturesque landscapes to award-winning beaches, and its verdant nature to pleasant year-round climate, the southern Portuguese resort area offers tourists a diverse array of attractions.
And, according to Visit Algarve tourism authorities, as they prepare to welcome holidaymakers for a new spring-summer season, one of the best ways to get to know the region is by cycling or walking. “This lets you enjoy its natural beauty, discover its biodiversity, admire its heritage and learn about its culture.”
The Algarve offers cycling tourist and walking enthusiasts a vast selection of well-signposted itineraries and routes, as well as equipment hire and organised programs. “Whether you do your own thing or use one of the specialised operators, take us up on our suggestions and explore the Algarve from one end to the other.”
