The Alentejo Circuit: Pedal Portugal (Pedal Portugal - Tours and Day Rides Book 1)

The Alentejo Circuit: Pedal Portugal (Pedal Portugal - Tours and Day Rides Book 1)

Huw Thomas
4.5/5 ( ratings)
A unique cyclist's guide to Portugal's sun-baked Alentejo region - provides a general overview of riding in the Alentejo, plus a highly-detailed description of a tour taking in many of its highlights.

The Alentejo Circuit is based on a six-day loop starting from the historic city of Evora.

The main ride can be adapted into a 5-9 day trip, with notes on alternative routes and side trips taking in vineyards, a giant dam, bird-spotting opportunities and the chance to visit ancient megaliths.

Background information gives ideas for places to stay, where to find shops, cafes, bike stores etc. Directions for each day's ride include details of all important junctions and distances for every section - plus 22 maps.

A separate section provides advice on a 3-day coastal extension taking in some of the Alentejo's most dramatic cliffs and prettiest beaches.

The guide is based on a popular touring route from the Pedal Portugal website and is the first in a series of planned books on cycling in the country.
