Cycling: The Algarve offers a fantastic variety of cycling possibilities, whether you are a dedicated roadie, keen mountain biker, or prefer the more sedate option of a touring bike or easy to ride e-bike. This is also a perfect destination all year around, with relatively mild summers and nothing that could be described as winter by northern Europeans.
Casa Flor de Sal offers hybrid bikes and helmets, free to borrow, and cycle off to the beach, into town or to explore the region. You can also borrow a child seat or a half bike if you need.
Just 100 meters from Casa Flor de Sal main gate is a 214km bike path called “Ecovia do Litoral”. This is a bike path that runs close to the sea all the way from the western point in the Algarve (Sagres) to Spain. It offers the perfect way to know the coastal landscape to the east of Casa Flor de Sal with its traditional whitewashed houses and handmade chimneys, saltpans, citrus orchards and fantastic views. If you prefer, you can go quite far and return by train (bikes go free).
Around Casa Flor de Sal, there are also several areas for mountain biking, road biking and easier tours to do with touring or electric bikes. We work with a bike rental specialist company that has been in the Algarve for many years. You will be able to rent from them any bike you might want, including electric bikes, as well as maps for specialist trips and tours.
