- Difficulty Level
Level 3
XLevel 1: Occasional
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain with a few small hills—all very manageable for people trying their first biking trip.
Walking – 6-10 km (4-6 mi.) a day on country lanes, footpaths and coastal or forest trails, all on relatively flat terrain, perhaps with an occasional hill.
Level 2: Recreational
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over terrain that’s relatively flat but will include inclines and the occasional climb or two.
Walking – 8-12 km (5-7 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain, with occasional steeper climbs.
Level 3: Enthusiast
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day in gently rolling countryside, with occasional longer climbs to points that are well worth the effort.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over rolling terrain on a variety of surfaces. Most days, one or two steeper climbs to spectacular viewpoints or places of interest.
Level 4: Avid
Biking – Roughly 50 km (30 mi.) a day in consistently rolling countryside, with repeated climbs and longer options available.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) over terrain that varies between rolling and hilly, with a few steeper climbs.
Level 5: Expert
Biking – 50-60 km (30-45 mi.) a day over both level and tougher, hillier terrain with multiple 100 km (62 mi.) options. The routes are designed for avid cyclists and include plenty of chances to push yourself.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over fairly hilly terrain offering lots of challenges. Routes are along high meadow paths and/or well-maintained cliffside or alpine trails, with a few steep ascents to make you feel invigorated.
Adventuring in Alentejo
East of Lisbon, across the Tagus River, Sprawls Alentejo, one of Portugal’s most beautiful – and fortunately for us, under-traveled-regions. Overshadowed by its more famous neighbours, Alentejo is a culinary and cultural heartland of sleepy villages, fragrant farmland, cork forests, lush vineyards, and man-made lakes; from the gentle waters of Lake Maranhao (a classic B&R gem) to the cobbled streets of UNESCO-recognized Évora.

REQUEST A QUOTEDay by Day
Cross this River Tagus via the Vasco da Gama Bridge and begin your ride from the hilltop town of Estremoz. Pedal past olive groves and cork trees before arriving at the town of Redondo to dine on a lunch as local as they come.
Head out for an epic loop ride departing from the hotel and toward the Alqueva Dam. Finish at the legendary vineyards of Monte dos Perdigões for a tour of the estate, followed by lunch and a wine tasting.
Cycle through the countryside before arriving at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Évora. After a bite to eat here, head to your home for the next two nights: the former monastery turned 5-star retreat, Convento do Espinheiro.
Stop by our friend Nuno’s farm to tour his family’s estate and see how the landowners have been living for the past century. Sample his wines over a delicious homemade meal.
Bid farewell to Évora for your final ride and last chance to enjoy the perfumed air of the Alentejo countryside. Your ride rolls into a glorious ending at the hamlet of Santiago do Escoura, where you’ll lunch at the famous restaurant of Manuel Azinheirinha.
Depending on your flight time, you will be driven to the Lisbon airport or downtown if you plan to extend your stay in Portugal. Tchau!

Hotels
São Lourenço do Barrocal
In the same family for over 200 years, the estate has its heart at the monte, an ancient small farming village, which has been brought carefully back to life as a remarkable hotel of understated luxury, surrounded by ancient oaks, olive groves and vineyards. Here, the feeling of being at home is intimately connected with the sense of belonging to the vastness of the land. In Alentejo, farm and landscape soon become your home. View hotel website »
Convento do Espinheiro, Evora
Housed in a stunning ex-monastery named for a hawthorn bush, Espinheiro leaves guests wanting for nothing. Its hallowed walls harbour two swimming pools, a spa, spacious and comfortable common areas, and rooms with views of olive groves and gardens. The fully consecrated church just off reception may not be of practical use to us, but it is a wonder to behold. View hotel website »
L'AND Resort, Montemor-o-Novo
A cluster of avant-garde buildings nestled among the vines, L’AND delivers comfort and service of the highest calibre. If there’s a chill in the evening air – or even if there is not! – ask the concierge to prepare a fire in your personal fireplace on the terrace of your suite. View hotel website »
Around every turn was another spectacular site! Our guides took all the worry away, and made the days incredibly fun. It was our first B&R experience, and we will definitely schedule another one!
