Eco via coastal tour
Scenery: Coastal and nature reserves
Level: Easy – Med

The Ecovia runs between the Spanish border and the western most point of the Iberian peninsular (Cape St Vicente) through the heart of the Algarve. It was well designed a few years ago and has not been given the level of maintainance required. It does however endeavor to avoid major transit areas and to keep to side roads and caminhos (paths) where available. It is possible to ride the ecovia in two days but to enjoy it at a respectful leisure then try it over 4 or 5 days. For a guided tour along the ecovia please contact us and we will put you in touch with a provider who can arrange accommodation for you
