Along the journey, you'll cycle through the stunning hilltop castle of Marvão, the medieval streets of Castelo de Vide, and the fortified city of Elvas, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With the Guadiana River serving as the border, this unique cycling week allows you to ride in both Portugal and Spain. 

Experience two countries on one itinerary, featuring four border crossings without any hassle.

Meet the friendly (if a bit reserved at first) people of Alentejo, savor Mediterranean-style cuisine, and explore local crafts such as cork, marble, and olive oil. And as for the wine? Come taste it for yourself. Most nights are spent in lovely, charming hotels.

I have been fortunate to be part of our tour and hotel team for the last 20 years. One of my earliest adventures was trekking in the mountains of Gerês with my father when I was just 5 years old. Over the years, I've enjoyed various outdoor sports and developed a love for traveling by bike. For two years, I explored beautiful places like Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Laos, India and Nepal. Eventually, I returned to Portugal and started our company. With a passion for the outdoors, I love guiding cycling tours, canoeing trips or even organizing unique outdoor events for company meetings. I feel grateful to share these experiences with others.
