Gravel Port T5 Aljezur to Lagos
The last route was going from Aljezur along the coastal gravel paths towards south passing two of the most spectacular points: Praia da Arrifana and Carrapateira. Even though I had a bit of a rainy day it was one of my favourite parts of the trip. The road was in…

Gravel Port T4 2/2 Odeceixe to Aljezur
This route is a mix of Ruis route and my additions. The sandy roads and single trails along the canal were a lot of fun and so different to all the paths beforehand! You then get on some wider and perfect gravel roads towards the coast again. When you see…

Gravel Port T4 1/2 Santa-Clara to Odeceixe
To have a bit of an easier day and getting to the coast a bit quicker I opted for a road route. Still very quiet and in a beautiful forest scenery passing some small towns. Especially towards the end the climbs were quite steep and challenging but also a lot…

Gravel Port T2 detour to Mértola
Wanted to use lonely gravel routes to get quickly towards the river and get to Mértola from there. Unfortunately ended at a fence and private property..
Till then a suuuper nice and fun gravel path after Lombardos. Sad that you cannot continue there. Maybe there are other options to get…

Gravel Port T1 Faro to Guadiana
Route out of Faro and over the hills after São Bras de Aportel using quiet streets. The climbs are long but soft, which makes it a good start to get into the Alentejo inland and through calm eucalyptus forests. There are some nice gravel parts that make the whole route…
