There were 2 of us and about 4 other people joined us along with Jorge our tour guide but only 4 of us ate lunch together.

Bike was good, my Mam used an electric bike which was excellent. We were both provided with helmets. It's a good idea to take a small backpack as only the electric bike has a small open basket at the back. Both bikes had a water bottle holder. We were provided with a small bottle of water each.

We toured around the area in a large circle for about 9 miles it was a flat easy leisurely ride.

We stopped off to check out the beach for 10 minutes then tried the racket sport Padle for 10 minutes at the near by sports centre which was a new fun experience for us.

We visited the local fish and fruit markets and stopped for a long lunch at a small seafood restaurant. In pairs we shared a platter of a range of seafood and had a few glasses of refreshing sparkling 'green' wine it was all lovely. We then visited a local bakery to sample what in England we call 'Portuguese tarts' which were amazing. We then had a short ride back to the meeting point to drop off the bikes at around 4pm I believe. So the whole experience lasted around 5 hours.

Jorge was a great guide very friendly and informative about the area and history. He even sent us a group photo and little video of us cycling afterwards which was lovely.

We would definitely recommend this experience to cycling and seafood enthusiasts it was good value a great way to spend the day exploring the area, we would do it again if we ever returned.

Thanks Jorge!
