You’ll start off with sea views and bracing Atlantic air in Sagres, famous for its dramatic fortress and surfer vibe. The road rolls gently through countryside dotted with wildflowers and occasional cork oaks, offering some mild climbs (about 98 meters ascent overall), but nothing too challenging. With traffic usually pretty light, it’s a stress-free experience, save for a short stretch on a busier road.

The route wraps up in Vila do Bispo, where you can grab a coffee or a fresh pastry in the town square. If you’re into history, check out the old church or just soak up the relaxed pace. All in all, it’s a breezy, rewarding ride perfect for anyone looking to escape the crowds and see a different side of the Algarve.
