Cycling day trip from Lagos to Sagres

Get ready for an awesome ride along Portugal’s southern coast from Lagos to Sagres! Starting in Lagos, you’ll kick things off in a lively historic town known for its beautiful marina, cobbled streets, and golden beaches. The route is about 43 km, mostly on quiet roads and some gravel tracks, so expect both smooth sailing and little off-road fun.

You’ll roll through scenic countryside, gentle hills (about 500 meters of total ascent), and get sweeping coastal views as you get closer to Sagres. There are stretches where the pavement gives way to gravel—great if you like a touch of adventure, but bring a bike that can handle a bit of everything.

The ride finishes in Sagres, a laid-back surf haven perched on dramatic cliffs at the southwestern tip of Europe. Don’t miss the Farol do Cabo de São Vicente lighthouse—it’s epic at sunset. Pack some snacks, soak up the ocean air, and enjoy one of the Algarve’s classic cycling routes!
