The Ecovia do Litoral, a 214 km bike path running along the Algarve coast, is just outside our door and bikes are available on site to borrow and cycle off to the beach or into town. Cerro de São Miguel, a small mountain 400m high and 11 km from Casa Flor de Sal, is also very good for cycling and used for down hill biking.

The Algarve is famous for its golf courses. We are near to some of the best in the region and can book them for you. Colina Verde (6km) is a small inland 9-hole course situated in Moncarapacho. The Benamor golf course (20 km) was designed by Sir Henry Cotton. The course is an undulating one offering views over the mountains to one side and the sea to the other.
