The region’s capital city, which combines urban charm with a rural environment and the natural landscapes formed by the paradisical Formosa Estuary, serves as a starting point for mythical roads through the Algarve mountains. Along the length of a route known for being a roller-coaster of ups and downs, you cover several kilometres of tarmac surrounded by the magnificent landscapes of the hinterland, on roads such as the historic EN 2, one of the oldest in Portugal. When crossing the Caldeirão mountains, put your strength and energy to the test on the Bordeira, Cruz da Assumada, Barranco do Velho and Feiteira climbs and take advantage of the opportunity to take a look at curious traditions in the villages of Ameixial, Cortelha, Cachopo and Martim Longo.
