The anticipation was palpable as I boarded the early morning bus from Lisbon to Lagos, ready to kick off my cycling journey along the stunning Algarve coast. Upon arrival in Lagos, the excitement was momentarily halted as I discovered the bike shop was closed for lunch. However, once the wheels were in motion, my Decathlon bike with a convenient front rack became the perfect companion.
Heading towards the rugged cliffs alongside Lagos, the coastal route to Sagres, the southwesternmost point of continental Europe, unveiled breathtaking views. One notable stop was the "Praia da Mareta," where a picturesque rainbow painted the sky. The Airbnb in Sagres served as a comfortable base to explore the surroundings, providing a glimpse into the coastal charm of the region.
