On this guided bike tour, we'll cover a 30 km section of the Rota Vicentina’s Touring Bike and Gravel route. Starting at Forte do Beliche, we will ride onto Sagres, passing through Vila do Bispo, Ponta d’Aspa, Cabo de S. Vicente and returning to the starting point. In this *circular ride, accessible to everyone, we’ll reach the highest point on the Algarve coast, at 156m: the Torre d’Aspa, and enjoy one of the most beautiful panoramic views of Costa Vicentina,* and with luck, looking up to the sky, we will be see the natural elements that bring us to this Festival.
