Portugal, warm and welcoming

At the southwestern tip of Europe and its Iberian Peninsula, Portugal delights tourists with its combination of pleasant year-round weather, welcoming villages and rocky shores with countless views of the Atlantic Ocean. This renowned cycling land will offer you challenges to match your ambition, while rewarding you with such familiar tastes as grilled octopus, the famous pasteis de Nata or the rich, sweet aromas of Port, the country's national spirit.

Beaches as far as the eye can see

Portugal's charms are many, but it must be said that its beaches are hard to beat. With more than 900 kilometers of Atlantic coastline, the country seduces with its large sandy shores that make swimmers and surfers happy. If you are more of a mountain person, no problem! The rugged coastline juts out over the beaches and offers countless ocean views to travelers.

Once inland, you'll discover Portugal's warm charm through its small, friendly villages and year-round mild climate. Urban tourists are also served with Lisbon the magnificent, located between seven hills that offer magnificent views of the metropolis and capital of the country. Its Saint George's castle and its lights will make your eyes sparkle, and the many great Lisbon restaurants and their grills will satisfy the gourmets!

In Portugal, no matter what the destination, there is no wrong choice! The coastline and its marvelous beaches, the peaks plunging into the great azure of the Atlantic, the cities and villages that combine history and modernity, every kilometer is worth the detour. It's a good thing, because by bike, you can take full advantage of each pedal stroke to create priceless memories!
