An awesome cycling experience through the beautiful town and municipality of Alcoutim!

We suggest you start the route at Alcoutim Castle and go south along the Guadiana river, enjoying the stunning scenery along the river bank, with Spain on the other side.
Follow down the river to the village of Montinho das Laranjeiras, where you can visit the Roman Villa and then to Guerreiros do Rio, where you may stop to visit the Museu do Rio (River Museum).

You may then take two different routes to go back to the starting point at Alcoutim:

1. Go back through the same route, if you are a occasional cyclist or looking for an easy route (around 20 Kms total).

2. If you are looking to adventure and do quite a few more Kms, choose to go through Corte das Donas, Corte Tabelião and then to Alcoutim (around 35 Kms). You may choose the main road (see link for map below) or the many off-road paths along the way (look a online map), which is only possible to do with a mountain bike.

Before getting back to the starting point, and if the weather invites, we suggest a refreshing dip at the Pego Fundo river beach.

The views along any of the routes are simply breathtaking!
