Description
There are various places of interest along the Lagoa route. Setting out from Lagoa city centre, ride in a south-easterly direction until you reach the coast and the charming Benagil Beach. If you can, be sure to visit the famous Algar de Benagil sinkhole. The terrain here is very up-and-down because of the cliffs. Although short, the uphill and downhill sections here are quite steep, so you do need to be a capable rider. Continuing along the coast in a westerly direction you will pass through the town of Carvoeiro and then Ferragudo. Stop off to explore both of them and admire their attractive silhouettes rising against the background of the seashore. Heading northwards now, you will come to the town of Estômbar and, farther on, a park called Parque das Fontes. Nature lovers are very fond of this spot where you can go diving, have a picnic or simply enjoy a few moments of convivial rest and relaxation.

Descripción
La ruta de Lagoa nos lleva por numerosos lugares de interés. Partiendo del centro de Lagoa, pedalee hacia el sudeste hasta llegar a la costa y la hermosa playa de Benagil. Si tiene oportunidad, visite su famosa cueva. Se encuentra en uno de los acantilados, por lo que el terreno es muy escarpado. Los ascensos y descensos, a pesar de ser breves, son bastante acusados y requieren cierta destreza y experiencia. Continúe por la costa en dirección oeste. Pasará por el pueblo de Carvoeiro, y después por Ferragudo. Deténgase a conocerlos y a contemplar de la belleza de estas siluetas recortadas junto al mar. Siguiendo hacia el norte, encontrará el pueblo de Estômbar y, más adelante, el Parque de las Fuentes, muy apreciado por los amantes de la naturaleza, en donde podrá darse un chapuzón, disfrutar de un pícnic al aire libre o simplemente pasar un buen rato charlando y descansando.
