This Bike Tour in Portugal starts in Marvao, a small medieval town on the top of the hill, surrounded by walls and with a majestic castle that defended this small town from the Spanish people many times. There you can admire a spectacular view before you start riding down. Afterwards, you will climb to a little chapel on the top of a hill where there is an amazing view over another medieval town, and its rows of whitewashed houses.
You will ride along narrow roads, either sided by cork trees or stone walls and you will get to a quiet place, where you will stay in an amazing building that was once a convent and today is a luxury hotel.
On the next day you will ride towards one of the most traditional wine regions in Portugal. You can visit a vineyard and taste the world famous Alentejo wine.
The ride continues to the capital of marble in Portugal, where even the sidewalks are made of marble. You will also visit a pottery workshop and a cork processing plant. The cycling day ends at a small town which is famous for its rugs that are still handmade following a tradition that is documented since the 17th century.
This PortugalBike Tour ends in Evora, which is the largest town in Alentejo. This is a wonderful walled town with many Roman vestiges, medieval churches and buildings, fountains, the aqueduct, charming streets, etc., that is classified as World Heritage by UNESCO.
