With a length of almost 214 kilometers and direct access to numerous beaches, the Ecovia do Litoral crosses the Algarve from one end to the other, thanks to a corridor of vegetation that connects Cabo de São Vicente to Vila Real de Santo António. The main attraction of the section between Faro and Tavira is the Ria Formosa.

Very beautiful small section of EV1 between Faro and Olhão. Much safer than cycling along the EN125.
