Board a moliceiro, the colourful hand-painted boats once used to harvest seaweed, and glide along the city's tranquil canals. Back on land, indulge in local flavours by taking part in a workshop on typical sweets, such as the famous Ovos Moles, and discover the secret of the region's sweetness. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the salt pans, where you can relax your feet in small tubs with the soothing properties of sea salt.

   Aveiro to Figueira da Foz Through Dunes and Coast

   Stage 3 - 35 km/22 mi Leave enchanting Aveiro for Figueira da Foz, cycling along the canal and through green fields. When you reach Mira, you'll be blown away by the way the sun shines on the dunes, the sea, and the vegetation. Take some time to explore charming Praia de Mira, with its picturesque colourful wooden houses and traditional palheiros. Here, the freshness of the sea meets the table: try a local fish speciality and let the authentic flavours of the Portuguese coast envelop you.

   Figueira da Foz to Nazaré on the Silver Coast

   Stage 4 - 81 km/50 mi Start the day with a taxi boat ride (optional) to the other side of the river and embark on a journey along the Silver Coast. This route takes you through the Pinhal de Leiria, a vast forest planted in the 15th century to provide timber for the caravels that took Portuguese explorers to the four corners of the globe. Follow the Atlantic Highway, a cycle path that winds between the pine forest and the sea, passing through São Pedro de Moel until you reach Nazaré. This coastal town is famous for its huge waves, which, depending on the season, attract the world's most daring surfers.

   Day 06

   Nazaré to Óbidos Through Tradition and Medieval Streets

   Stage 5 - 41 km/25 mi Today, we've booked a visit to two of Portugal's most recognisable towns - Nazaré and Óbidos. In Nazaré, the country's most famous fishing village, discover a culture rich in unique traditions. The wooden fishing boats, with their high, curved prows, date back to Phoenician times. The fisherwomen, with their seven-layered skirts, wooden clogs, and black headscarves, are the living embodiment of the past. Then, travel to Óbidos, a walled medieval town. With its narrow, winding streets, whitewashed houses decorated with flowers, and historical monuments, Óbidos is like something out of a fairy tale. The locals have preserved every detail to celebrate Portuguese history and heritage.

   Day 07

   Lisbon Icons, Alfama Streets, and Bairro Alto

   After saying goodbye to Óbidos, return your bikes and let us take you to the beating heart of Portugal: Lisbon. Immerse yourself in the city's rich history and architecture. See the Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery, iconic symbols of Portugal's maritime past. Wander the winding streets of Alfama, the city's oldest neighbourhood, and climb to the top of Castelo de São Jorge for panoramic views. As the sun sets, the city comes alive. Bairro Alto, once a working-class district, is now a bohemian haven with trendy bars, restaurants, and traditional fado houses.
