Portugal & Spain Bike Tour: The Frontier

• What's Included
• Delicious Meals
• Great Hotels

Cycle through history, over Roman bridges and by medieval monasteries along roads winding through the picturesque rolling Alentejo plains region of Portugal and into the neighboring sun-baked Extremadura, Spain.

Our new 6 day cycling trip will give you a rich introduction to one of the most beautiful regions of Portugal and its close ties to life across the border in neighboring Spain. Cycling in the Alentejo is ideal because it combines a complex history with quiet country roads winding through olive orchards, vineyards and fields of grain. Every day is filled with picturesque rides, visits to historical points of interest and good food and wine. Explore Evora, the former capital of Portugal and taste wine and have lunch at a local winery estate. In the town of Vila Viçosa, once home to the royal family, you’ll learn about the significance of the local marble industry. And venture across the border to Olivenza, Spain and learn about its fascinating history and how it was once a Portuguese town. Head down to a Lusitano horse breeding farm and wander the cobbled streets of a border village where the Jews took refuge during the Inquisition. Finally climb up to the impressive castle town of Marvão high above the plains with panoramic views of the entire region. This is a once in a lifetime trip that must not be missed!

Trip Highlights

• Spin along the quiet country roads of Portugal’s Alentejo and Spain’s Extremadura regions (including a former smuggler’s route) through golden plains dotted with statuesque cork and olive trees, fields of wildflowers and impressive castle towns

• Visit the fortified town of Elvas, with its towering aqueduct and Olivenza, a former Portuguese village in Spain

Tour Reviews

Obrigada for a Wonderful Week! We have just enjoyed wonderful things in Spain and Portugal (cycling in the Extremadura and Alentejo). Stopping on a quiet country road to listen to the birds singing and seeing the multi-colored carpet of wildflowers was truly magical. And exploring the various old castle towns and the regional cuisines was also very special. It was a perfect spring vacation for us. – Mary and John E.

Best Bike Tour I Have Ever Taken!! Eva and Pedro are wonderful hosts / guides and have set up a truly remarkable adventure. I am going to have to come back to the Andalusia trip in Spain. Thanks for a wonderful time and great hospitality! It was a great way to celebrate my upcoming 60th birthday with my daughter. – David B.

I Hope We Can Cross Paths With You Again! Dave and I wanted to thank you so much for putting on a wonderful bike tour for us. Your choices of the route, all accommodations, meals, etc. were superb and your company was delightful. You were so supportive of us and relayed so much good information, historical as well as teaching us about regional customs, cuisines and language. We really enjoyed the side trips that were added into the cycling, too. The equipment, van, snacks and picnics all were great and your attitudes as well. – Dave & Kate

Lisbon boasts The Park of Nations, home to one of the largest estuaries in Europe, and is a smooth cycle ride. Pedal through Porto’s castles and sip world-famous Port wine of the River Douro.

The dedicated bike paths and side roads of the countryside have little traffic and allow cyclists to easily explore. Likewise, the rolling hills and quaint villages invite adventure and the stunning Algarve region boasts plentiful coastal views.

“The countryside was beautiful, with both challenging and gentle hills, and the people we met were friendly and helpful.”

Cycling holidays in Spain and Portugal

Valencia - the better barcelona.

Flamenco - The music of Spain

Cycling through the streets of Barcelona

Paella - the Spanish national dish

Porto - the capital of the north

Madeira - where Europe meets the tropics!

When you think of Spain and Portugal you probably think of the sun, the beach, and the sea first - but these countries have a lot more to offer than that!

Thanks to the mild climate, you can cycle here almost the whole year round. When the weather starts to get cold in the north of Europe, the almond blossoms are blooming on Majorca! The orchards along the Costa Blanca are fragrant and on Madeira, you'll see flowers in a whole array of colours. Cycling holidays in Spain and Portugal used to be holidays for insiders. But now there are more and more well-established cycle paths that take you through wonderful countryside and idyllic villages.

How about a break at one of the quiet beaches here?  Refreshed, you go on to your next hotel where you will be able to enjoy the culinary highlights of the local area.  Allow yourself to be pampered by the cooks with a paella or a gazpacho - the traditional Spanish soup - and try one of the well-known local wines. Plan your next active holiday by bike in Spain or Portugal.

Cycling holidays in Spain

Spain has a rich cultural heritage and you can experience this up close from the bike saddle! Spanish sun on your skin, sand of the Costa Blanca between your toes, paella on your tongue and hot rhythms of flamenco in your feet.

Cycling holidays in Portugal

Active vacation in Portugal: Most people first think of surfing. But whether on Madeira, along the Douro, the Algarve or the Atlantic, here you will find the perfect symbiosis of enjoyment, cycling pleasure and scenic beauty.

There is a wide range of holidays to choose from in these areas. In the north of Spain you cycle along the famous St. James' Pilgrim's Path from inland Astorga to the Atlantic Coast and then on to Santiago de Compostela, the end to the path with its majestic cathedral.  You can make a pilgrimage there by bike! Cyclists can get their pilgrim's pass stamped in their accommodation and will receive a certificate if they cycle at least 200 km.

To the east you explore the inland of Costa Blanca by bike. You cycle through varied countryside of pine trees and orchards, through the hilly hinterland to the Mediterranean coast, to Valencia.

Further south, you can look forward to a cycling holiday in Andalusia , known for its passionate soul! As the summer in Spain is very hot, we recommend this tour in spring or autumn. In pleasantly warm temperatures you cycle along unused railway tracks and through river valleys, getting to know the many sides of Andalusia. Look forward to the culinary specialities - Spain's tapas or gazpacho - historic towns such as Seville or Cordoba and the flair of the Flamenco.

Even if you don't immediately connect Madeira with cycling, this flower island has some beautiful tours for sporty cyclists! All round Portugal's floating garden, as the island is called, you can explore romantic floral gardens, dreamy harbour towns and the natural beauty of this lovely island on different sections of the tour. To make sure that the sections don't get too arduous, the steepest inclines can be covered by bus.

I booked a one day ride around Evora, Ricardo picked me up at the Four Seasons Ritz hotel in Lisbon and we drove out to ride in Évora. We rode for three hours around the area rolling hills through lovely cork forests, up to an ancient stone cropping. Ricardo was an excellent guide and wonderful host. The bike was really great quality. We then had lunch at an amazing restaurant in the heart of the medieval city. The ride was well planned and the whole day went smoothly. I highly recommend this company LLR-Portugal Bike Tours.

A bike tour in Alentejo feels like stepping into the past, with rolling landscapes of wheat fields, olive groves, cork trees, and vineyards.

Experience the quiet charm of cycling through the Alentejo region of Portugal as you discover an old-world way of life. It's the heartland of the world's cork production, still harvested by hand at the same steady pace that's been followed for generations. Unpack and unwind at one luxurious hotel for your entire bike tour, ensuring relaxation at the end of each day. Savor slow food cuisine, exquisite local wines, and cycle to historic towns like UNESCO-listed Évora, with its ancient Roman temples, city walls, and bath ruins.

Each day was different and a unique experience. Really appreciate all the thought and planning that went into finding each restaurant and the logistics of moving a big group like ours look effortless! 5 star restaurants and wine.

Jim, Trek Travel Guest

This trip was spectacular from the beginning to the end. All guides, all rides, all meals, all activities. Well thought out and planned.

Susan, Trek Travel Guest

Thank you for another great experience. Some of our biking buddies did their own home-grown rides in Portugal while we were on the Trek trip, and they acknowledged the Trek trip looked a lot more fun.

The dining experiences were amazing. The vineyard tour and dinner on the last night was unforgettable, gorgeous and so special. I felt so privileged to spend the evening there.

Sylvia, Trek Travel Guest

Every meal out as a group was well thought out and enhanced our experience, from the opening dinner in town with local wine and food to the final closing. The lunch in Elvas with the incredible view was fabulous, with well selected food. The dinner in Estremoz was incredible, with the highest quality food and presentation. And the final closing dinner with wine tour, bit of cooking on the estate, and seating at the most elaborate table with wonderful service was a lovely closing touch.

Candace, Trek Travel Guest

Both the tour of Evora and the tour of the cork estate were wonderful. The history of the region was central to the enjoyment and awe of the spaces we visited. Meeting and enjoying the people of the region enriched our time there.

You'll then shuttle approximately two hours to your retreat oasis for the week. Please have your first-day cycling clothes and riding gear easily accessible, separate from your luggage. After a light lunch of local delights on the patio of the hotel, your guides will fit and familiarize you with your bike for the week and speak to the specifics of cycling in the area before taking to the roads of Alentejo.

If you will be late for the pick-up or are going to miss it altogether, please inform your guides. If you cannot reach them, please call our first hotel, Alentejo Marmoris Hotel and Spa (+351 268 887 010), and leave a message with your expected arrival time and contact details.

Un viaje en bicicleta por el país vecino en el que tú eres el único protagonista. Te proponemos unas vacaciones de cicloturismo en estado puro para que conozcas el centro de Portugal, sus paisajes, sus costumbres, su gastronomía.

Agradables rutas en bicicleta, fáciles y siempre por caminos secundarios o carreteras locales con poco tráfico que tú mismo puedes organizar desde tu casa. Tu bicicleta, tus amigos, la aventura de hacer de cada etapa en bicicleta un viaje en sí mismo. Si eres de los que prefieren viajar de manera independiente, pedalear sobre tu bicicleta y organizar la ruta día a día, ¡este es tu viaje!

Empieza a viajar con el mejor vehículo del mundo: ¡tu imaginación! Proponemos 6 noches de hotel de calidad en algunos de los lugares imprescindibles de Portugal. EVORA y Alentejo: 2 noches para conocer esta ciudad UNESCO. Podrás ir en coche a Monsaraz y pedalear hasta la bodega Esporao o ver el embalse de Alqueva, el más grande de Europa.LISBOA. Dos noches en la capital en hotel de 4 estrellas, muy bien situado junto al río y muy centrico. Tienes rutas en la ciudad, junto al río y hasta Cascais. ERICEIRA. Encantador pueblo en la costa y hotel frente al mar. El mejor lugar para practicar surf y rutas en bicicleta junto al mar.

Día 1: Évora

Llegada por tu cuenta hasta Évora.

Deja el coche en el parking del hotel, monta tu bicicleta y aprovecha desde el minuto 1 para conocer esta bellísima ciudad portuguesa de origen milenario.

Al final del día, disfruta de la gastronomía portuguesa en el restaurante del hotel.

Día 2: Évora Rutas circulares a Monsaraz o Alqueva

Aprovecha este día para pedalear hasta Monsaraz y su impresionante castillo.

Otra opción es trasladarte en coche al embalse de Alqueva, el más grande de Europa, y hacer una ruta circular por sus orillas.

Si entre tus aficiones está la enología, ¿por qué no diseñar una ruta por tu cuenta hasta la conocidísima bodega de Esporao?

¡Tú decides!

Día 3: Évora – Lisboa

Después de desayunar tranquilamente en el hotel, carga tu equipaje en el coche, sube la bici a la baca y disfruta del trayecto hasta la capital lusa.

Estás a algo más de una hora de distancia de una de las ciudades más bonitas de Europa y podrás recorrerla a tu antojo según llegues, en bici, andando o como te dicte tu espíritu aventurero al llegar.

Nosotros sabemos que Cascais está muy cerca pero te aconsejamos dejar la etapa hasta la bella Cascais para mañana y aprovechar hoy para recorrer las orillas de la impresionante desembocadura del río Tajo.

Como en días anteriores, una excelente cena te estará esperando para que la disfrutes en el hotel que hemos reservado para ti. ¡Aprovecha para ir buscando la mejor ruta por los alrededores de Cascais!

Repetimos la idea del segundo día de este viaje: madrugar, coger fuerzas durante el desayuno, cargar la bicicleta y después de apenas una horita de coche o de 30 minutos en tren, a pedalear por los alrededores de Cascais.

Aprovecha que viajas en un vehículo 100% ecológico y acércate al sur del Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais, lo que viene a ser la punta de la “naricilla” de la Península Ibérica. Es lo bueno de viajar en bicicleta: puedes llegar y recorrer decenas de kilómetros de lugares de una increíble belleza.

Después de desayunar tranquilamente en el hotel, carga tu equipaje en el coche, sube la bici a la baca y disfruta del trayecto hasta el delicioso pueblo costero de Ericeira.

Estás a algo menos de una hora de distancia de una de las localidades favoritas de los portugueses para veranear.

Date un chapuzón al llegar, disfruta de una vueltecita en bicicleta por su paseo marítimo, recorre sus calles, bulliciosas y alegres.

Día 6: Ericeira Ruta circular siguiendo la costa

Déjate acariciar por la brisa marina, disfruta de la majestuosa vista del océano Atlántico ante tus ojos sobre tu bicicleta…

Sí, estás de vacaciones. Para. Date un chapuzón cuando quieras. Sigue pedaleando hasta el siguiente paisaje que te llame la atención. Continúa. Aprovecha y date un respiro en esa “cantinha” que te invita al final de la calle.

Tú decides cuántos kilómetros quieres recorrer con el océano de fondo y sabiendo que, al llegar al hotel, podrás reponer fuerzas y compartir con tus acompañantes los mejores momentos del día durante la cena.
