Volta ao Campo!

Beautiful summer morning ride in the Serra of the Algarve.
Ride through the heart of the Algarve's Serra on an endless mix of gravel roads, from smooth and fast to rougher, more technical sections that keep things interesting.
The route constantly rolls up and down with a handful of short but punchy climbs.
Nothing too extreme, overall it's a flowing ride that's enjoyable from start to finish.
Apart from a roughly 4 km stretch on the IC1, you'll spend almost the entire ride on quiet gravel tracks, with the occasional piece of tarmac to break things up. Pretty much no traffic, leaving you surrounded by nature and endless landscapes.
It's the kind of ride where you truly feel like you're the only person out there.
A perfect route for gravel riders who love solitude, variety, and the wild beauty of the Algarve.
I recommend to start and finish by ‘Serrano Futebol Club’ in Sao Marcos da Serra for a good cup of coffee to start the tour or finish with a refreshing beer and sandwich, nice place!
Good alternative to start your journey at ‘O Cantinho dos Cacadores’.
