The World Heritage of Sintra Hill 42km (26mi)
The Natural Park of Sintra-Cascais is one of the most beautiful Natural Parks in Portugal, including its maritime coast and the majestic and romantic Sintra Hills, once place of residence of many kings and queens, earls and barons and also Portuguese bourgeoisie. And all this presents a very romantic and mystical environment; a paradisiacal and majestic place where no-one can remain indifferent.

The Westernmost Point in Europe 63km (39mi)
Riding a mountain bike in the Natural Park of Sintra-Cascais you will have the opportunity of enjoying the best single trails in this area and to discover contrasting landscapes in this tourist region of Portugal. Admire rural plains, luxuriant vegetation, the coast and its slopes and cliffs!

The Trails of Natural Park of Arrábida Hills 35km (22mi)
We can admire the beautiful and exuberant Mediterranean landscapes in Natural Park of Arrabida Hills. The scenery is completed with the presence of the majestic Palmela castle acting as a permanent sentry. Climbing to Palmela castle on your bicycle through the luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation is one of the most exciting moments of this beautiful tour.

The Ancient Quarters of Lisbon and Monsanto Park 45km (28mi)
Lisbon is known as the City of Seven Hills because it was founded on seven hills. This means we can get wonderful views in the high places but we have to get there first! In the end we can have fan in single-tracks of the forest of Monsanto Park.

Sesimbra Castle 54km (34mi)
We will ride to Albufeira lagoon as far as Cape Espichel, where popular festivals used to take place and then we will climb to Sesimbra Castle.

Cape Espichel Tour 31km (19mi):
Cape Espichel – the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Cape is formed by the Church (built in the late 17th century) and the buildings that were used as shelter for the pilgrims. Cape Espichel is included in Natural Park of Arrabida Hills.

The West Coast 49km (30mi)
This West Region of Portugal is also known as a “Land of Vineyards and Sea”. Another interesting point of this tour is the Medieval Village of Óbidos. Originally a Roman village, it was taken from the Moors in 1148. Its castle is classified as a national monument and it is a perfect example of a medieval fortress.

Towards Roman Évora 49km (30mi)
Alentejo is a scarcely populated region with quite open horizons, where the rhythm of life follows the idle sound of regional songs. It is perfect to ride a bicycle and live an unforgettable adventure. This is a land of unimaginable heritage.

Towards Óbidos 49km (30mi)
The Medieval Village of Óbidos is an originally Roman village. It was taken from the Moors in 1148. Its castle is classified as a national monument and it is a perfect example of a medieval fortress.
