Authentic Algarve MTB 2020

12/03/2020 08:00

Following the success of the Rota Vicentina tours over the last few years Algarve Bike Holidays tried to create a Transalgarve tour. A ride that contains more mountain biking than cycling on the Ecovia do Litoral, but easier than the Via Algarviana by mtb. So a new route came up and it can be described as intermediate level mountain biking, about the equivalent of biking the Rota Vicentina along the west coast.

The route starts on the river Guadiana, bordering with Spain in Vila Real de Santo António and ends overlooking the beach in Odeceixe. The total distance is around 220 km and will be ridden over 4 days.
