Start the day with panoramic views over the Albufeira touristic city and it’s passionate coast. In this stage you will cycle along the central area of the Algarve and will be noticeable how the landscape changes as you pass from the barlavento to the sotavento area of the Algarve. The cliffs are replaced by extensive sand beaches as you get to Vilamoura. As Albufeira this is a famous summer destination and passing by the Marina you will clearly understand why it is.. Just beside Vilamoura you will find Quarteira, not so exquisite but it has a long lovely boardwalk by the sea. Don’t miss the local typical fish market every morning. Proceeding along the coastline it’s time to pass by the most luxurious area of the Algarve, Vale do Logo and then Quinta do Lago. Arriving the lake you will meet your “new travel partner “, the Ria Formosa. In an amazing scenery, you will keep riding until you arrive in Faro, the capital of the Algarve. Once in Faro, the capital of the Algarve, ride around the charming cobblestone streets and see the Arco da Vila.
