Cycling day trip from Setúbal to Santo André

This ride takes you from the lively coastal city of Setúbal down to the relaxed charm of Santo André, covering just over 76 km through the scenic Alentejo region. Starting in Setúbal—famous for its seafood, historic streets, and as a gateway to the stunning Arrábida Natural Park—you’ll roll south along a mostly paved, quiet route, passing through rolling countryside and picturesque pine forests.

You’ll gain a bit of elevation along the way (around 700 m!), so expect some nice views—especially as you leave the city behind. The surface is mostly paved or decent asphalt, with a good mix of quiet roads and rural tracks (watch out for the occasional bumpy stretch).

Finishing in Santo André, you’ll find yourself near the tranquil Lagoa de Santo André and beautiful Atlantic beaches—a perfect place to relax after your ride! This route is ideal for cyclists who love a blend of urban vibes, country air, and seaside scenery.
