From the golden beaches of the Vicentine coast to the peaks of Monchique, seven days of pure gravel, historic villages, and breathtaking natural landscapes. The tour begins in Sotavento, the lesser-known eastern Algarve, then ascends through the Barrocal and the Serra do Caldeirão. We will visit historic cities like Tavira and Silves, before challenging the climbs of Monchique and descending towards the spectacular Atlantic cliffs of the Costa Vicentina. A guided experience with professional support, including the fully-equipped KTM X-Strada to enjoy every meter of this gravel paradise.
