Program
Day 1: São Bartolomeu de Messines - Santa Clara-a-Velha
Meet at the base of Buggy and Bike at 9,00 a.m. for a briefing and the delivery of your chosen vehicles. You will discover during this ride, the splendid region of Algarve. Then, you will depart from Sao Bartolomeu de Messines, located just 20 kilometers north of Albufeira.
The circuit begins in the Algarve region, to encroach on the Alentejo region. This is an off-road circuit that will take you between landscapes and enchanting colors to culminate in the late afternoon at the "Barragem S. Clara". Powered by "Rio Mira" and wrapped in a beautiful mountain water mirror, Santa Clara is one of the strong points of tourist interest in the inner part of Odemira.
You will spend a night in a "Quinta". The essence of the Quinta is a small intimate place of peace and relaxation, offering a combination of traditional hospitality and convivial information.
Day 2: Santa Clara Velha - Vila do bispo
The ride continues by tracking through postcard landscapes to reach Vila do Bispo, a small town 22 kilometers west of Lagos. It is a pretty village with old typical Algarve houses, grouped around the 16th century church. This "far west" area is still untouched by mass tourism and has beautiful beaches and beautiful countryside.
The circuit that takes place in the morning in the mountains and around noon, you will start to smell the sea and the Via Algarviana will end in the Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejo and Costa Vicentina, the most unspoiled coast of Europe.
Continue along the coast from Carrapateira, a former fishing village. This corner of the Algarve is remote, isolated, and certainly not visited by tourists who invade the coast. Here; travelers, tourists, surfers, and windsurfers are enchanted by the wonderful sunsets and beautiful beaches. You will overnight in a hotel with comfort equipped with indoor pool. You will have dinner in a typical restaurant in the village.
Day 3: Vila do bispo - Moncique
This is an off-road circuit that leads through enchanting landscapes and colors to Cabo de São Vicente, a cape at the southwestern end of Portugal. Although not the westernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula, it is the last offshoot of the Algarve in front of the Atlantic Ocean. Leaving the ocean behind you, you go inland to arrive in Monchique in the late afternoon and check in at a three-star hotel. You will have dinner in an alternative restaurant and very nice setting: Barlefante.
Day 4: Moncique - Silves - São Bartolomeu de Messines
Crossing the eucalyptus forests at 900 meters, you will experience an immersion in nature along the banks of the river Guadiana, and through the Serra do Caldeirão, a production area of cork and typical villages. You descend to Silves for lunch and have a chance to visit the medieval city.
You will return in the early afternoon to São Bartolomeu de Messines at the base for the delivery of your rented vehicles. Transfer to Albufeira for your hotel accommodation in the center. The evening is free for you to enjoy the Portuguese nightlife and dinner.

Location
Algarve became the preferred tourist destination for family, couples, singles, groups of friends, and the young generation, all in search of natural beauty. Alentejo is amazing with its valleys and landscapes, dotted with oak trees, olive trees, and famous vineyards. You will see Oporto and the River Douro Valley, as well as the Atlantic coastline with its pine forests,
You will enjoy gentle climate all year through. There will be endless sandy beaches and exceptional tracks overlooking the ocean before the red cliffs and white washed small towns. Inland, you will find the natural beauty of the eucalyptus forests, as well as genuine and traditional farms on the hill tops.
Given the overall good weather, the clear seas, and its natural beauty, the Algarvian coast is enchanting. Rocky and rugged to the west, this place has small fishing towns and charming cliff tops caressed by the wind, fine golden sands to the east, and a gradual blending with Andalusia.
