    Road cycling

    Tribute monument to cyclists. The winning moment at the end of the climb. This is a very special places for cycling in Portugal. The only other spot to compare is Alto da Torre at Serra da Estrela.

    The statue at the Foia Summit depicts Belgian national Remco Evenepoel winning a cycling stage on that very spot during the “Volta ao Algarve 2020”. Evenepoel won the Tour of the Algarve in 2020, 2022 and 2024. He won Olympic gold in Paris in 2024 and is regarded as the best time trialist of his generation. What foresight!

    The highest mountain in the Algarve is recommended in any weather and when it's nice you have a great view!
