Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Aljezur à Lagos

Ready for a ride from Aljezur to Lagos? This route dives right into some of the Algarve’s best scenery, pairing villages rich in history with winding tracks through the lush countryside. You’ll roll out from Aljezur, known for its whitewashed houses and ancient hilltop castle, before heading south towards the coast.

It’s about 43 km—so, a decent day out—with plenty of ups and downs to get your heart pumping (expect just under 700 meters of ascent and descent). You’ll spend much of your time on quiet country tracks—some paved, lots gravel and unpaved—so wider tires are your friend here. But don’t worry, there’s hardly a busy road in sight.

Arriving in Lagos, you’re greeted by cobbled streets, a lively old town, and beautiful beaches perfect for that post-ride dip. Take your time, enjoy the rolling hills and wild beauty, and pack a snack for the open stretches; it’s an adventure-packed pedal from countryside calm to coastal charm.
