Maderia

The flower island of Madeira, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, is famous as a water paradise, but it's certainly a cyclist's paradise too. Experience our cycling holiday in Madeira, where we provide the perfect cycling routes along roads with impressive panoramic views and you get to experience the whole island. Enjoy the beautiful lush scenery at different altitudes while looking out over the Atlantic Ocean. You will experience the culture of Madeira and understand the history of this amazing Portuguese island.

Algarve

We love the Algarve! If you prefer cycling on the mainland but still want the coast close by, the Algarve - with its 3000 hours of sunshine - is the perfect choice for you. The Algarve offers a great mix of fantastic beaches and exciting cycling routes, and together they make for a wonderfully relaxing cycling holiday in Europe's southernmost region. Some of the cycling routes run along the 'Escovia Litoral' and inland the real Algarve atmosphere awaits. Look forward to quaint little villages, bustling coastal towns, natural parks and divine beaches when you need to cool off. At Bering Travel, you can book our classic Cycling Holiday along the Algarve Coast or our equally amazing Cycling Holiday from Lisbon to the Algarve.

The Azores

Located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the islands are the perfect holiday destination. At Bering Travel you can experience a fantastic cycling holiday on the main island of São Miguel, where you will see the beautiful island from a completely different angle. It's an experience you'll never forget. Go on our cycling holiday in the Azores and have an experience of a lifetime.

Central Portugal

It's not just the Portuguese coast that's worth visiting. In rural Portugal there is an enchanting hilly landscape. Explore central Portugal on our Wine Country and Atlantic Ocean cycling holiday, which runs from Minho to Porto. You can also choose our cycling holiday from Porto to Lisbon or you can cycle with the pilgrims on the Camino from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. Whichever tour you choose, you can look forward to authentic villages, friendly people and traditional delicacies in sunny Portugal.

Portuguese climate

When it comes to cycling holidays, spring and autumn are the best times to travel. Cycling is most fun if the temperature is around 22 degrees on average. It gets hotter in the summer, but it can actually work anyway because the winds from the Atlantic help cool things down a bit. The further inland you go, the warmer it gets. Fortunately, the climate in Portugal is dry and pleasant.

The Portuguese cuisine

An evening in a Portuguese restaurant often starts with caldo verde - a creamy potato soup with cabbage. Portugal has a very varied cuisine but dishes often include fish and seafood. That said, a delicious chicken dish with piri piri chilli is certainly not to be sneezed at. Portugal's national dish is Bacalhau, which is dried and salted cod. Arroz de mariscos is also very popular - a rice dish less like paella. Everything is seasoned with fresh herbs and lots of garlic. The food is often grilled. For dessert, try the famous Pastel de Nata.
