The nature park of Ria Formosa and its unique lagoon system are one of the Algarve’s most impressive regions and is perfect for a bike tour. The park meanders for 60 kilometres along the Portuguese coast and promises amazing views. But also Portugal’s rolling hills tempt with olive groves, pine woods and inland lakes, moreover, vines enliven the area. Portugal’s islands like the Azores are a popular destination for a cycling holiday thanks to the less frequented streets and the special volcanic landscapes.
