Itinerary description

This route is a very good mix of road and off road. It is more off road than road though. Some fantastic west coast tracks running close to some beautiful beaches and rocky coast line. Then the route takes you inland on a 30km road stretch ready to head south on some fast Alentejo tracks before getting back to the rocky Algarve.
We did this track over 2 days on my XT 600 and a BMW F700.
I would say it's a fairly easy route. It avoids the harder sand areas of the west coast but still providing the excellent views.
