Portugal “We had a wonderful experience in Portugal. Each place we stayed was unique and charming, the food and wine outstanding and the sights and experiences memorable. This confirms, once again, the value of the services like yours. We would never have found many of these places on our own. We hope to return someday and explore places in a little more detail. Thank you very much for setting up a great trip. I could highly recommend it to anyone.” MARY, DAVID & ZACH REARDON, FL, USA ...Some of the Trip Highlights ● Ride across the rolling Alentejo plains studded with centenial olive trees and ancient cork forests. ● Stay in whitewashed medieval walled vil- lages and spend a night in a marbled convent. ● Explore the village of Castelo da Vide with its heart-breaking remnant of its pre- Inquisition Jewish quarter. ● Sample the mouthwatering food of the Alentejo, it’s unique fusion gastronomy blends arab, jewish and roman traits. Castles & Cork Trees Cycling through rolling fields of wildflowers and olive trees, we’ll celebrate an area of Portugal that many consider to be the last vestige of old Iberia. Medieval walled villages, white-washed and trimmed in blue, dot the hill- tops while plains of wheat and oats spread out below, freckled with small flocks of sheep and goats. You’ll be left with unforgettable memories of this lovely region - its serenity and heart-stopping beauty and, of course, days of idyllic cycling. Our last night finds us in old Lisbon where we’ll celebrate with a farewell, Fado dinner.

Cycling through rolling fields of wildflowers and olive trees, we'll celebrate an area of Portugal that many consider to be the last vestige of old Iberia. Medieval walled villages, white-washed and trimmed in blue, dot the hilltops while plains of wheat and oats spread out below, freckled with small flocks of sheep and goats. This is the realm of ancient castles and abundant, shady cork trees, under a deep blue sky - come and see for yourself.
