Extraordinary Motorbike Tour Portugal

The sea, the sun, open plains, space, seafood, and plenty of cows, this is how the south tour would be best described. This is a trip through the wild Atlantic coast of southwestern Portugal where the Portuguese fish is at its finest quality and the open plains of Alentejo where cattle and black pork make up a delicious food landscape. Also included in the trip is a journey through the private Algarve, where deserted beaches, barbecues in the middle of orange groves, and boat rides make up for an extraordinary journey!

Program

Day 1: Pre-tour

Arriving day will be with a welcome dinner and the first contact with the motorcycles, which will lead you along the most beautiful landscapes!

Day 2: Lisbon - Évora (389 kilometers / 242 miles)

The adventure begins in Lisbon. You will ride from Belém to Cascais by the riverside on the way to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost extent of mainland Portugal and continental Europe, and the romantic Sintra, often referred to as "the city of love". On your way to Setúbal, you will have lunch in Azeitão.

You will continue your route to Arraiolos, the land of famous handmade carpets, and then, you will head to Évora passing by Estremoz, in the heart of the Alentejo region. The roads in Alentejo are plain and there is a wonderful landscape with oaks and olive trees stretching out to the horizon. You arrive in Évora, facing the 15th-century classified monument Convento do Espinheiro, where the history, the culture, and the gastronomy invade you, creating a mixture of sensations inside you, which Alentejo is all about.

Day 3: Évora - Tavira (278 kilometers / 173 miles)

Almost all the Alentejo's roads are plains with the cork tree and vineyards, making the best of the landscape.

Going down to Algarve near by the Guadiana River, you will find small villages all with the influence of the Arabic architecture, because of their strong domain in the Iberian Peninsula (711-1492).

Reaching the Algarve, the odor of the beach and sea join you as the warm temperature.

Day 4: Tavira - Vila do Bispo (237 kilometers / 148 miles)

You will ride your motorcycles through Portugal's playground, a mix between the mountains and the beach. The two mountains Monchique and Caldeirão lead you to their famous mountain roads and views.

The journey ends reaching the tip of Europe in Sagres and seeing the place where the ancients believed the land ended and sea began.

Day 5: Vila do Bispo - Lisbon (326 kilometers / 203 miles)

From here, it's a drive up to Lisbon, wiggling your way through one of Europe's widest coastlines and certainly one of the most exciting as well. A surfer's and an adventure seeker's paradise, this coast has razor sharp cliffs which serve as a wall to the relentless pounding of the Atlantic. Now imagine sitting comfortably in an empty cliff, eating some grilled fish, and chatting away with the locals as nature takes its course in front of you, this is what Portugal Motorcycle Tours call freedom!

Note: The driver should have an international driver license for this tour.
