About This Route
A loop through the Algarve away from the beaches. A climb from Portimão to Caldas de Monchique and Fóia, the highest point in the Algarve, a descent through the hills to Marmelete and Aljezur, and a return to the coast via Bensafrim and Lagos. Mountain bends, eucalyptus and strawberry trees, with the sea always on the horizon.
