The Alentejo is one of the best areas in Portugal for exploring by bike and it’s easily accessible from both Lisbon and the Algarve. The terrain is generally rolling, with a few steep hills, but nothing like as challenging as many other parts of this small but rugged country.
Predominantly rural, the Alentejo has few large towns and plenty of quiet roads. It also boasts a wealth of ruined castles, hilltop villages and other historic sites to explore. (Oh, and some of the best red wine in the country...)
