The Algarve Coast adventure begins in Sagres, a destination where history, nature and the Atlantic Ocean come together in one of Portugal's most remarkable settings. Forever associated with Prince Henry the Navigator and the Age of Discoveries, this peaceful coastal town became a symbol of Portuguese maritime exploration and remains one of the country's most iconic destinations. As the first day of the itinerary is dedicated to arrival, it offers the perfect opportunity to explore Sagres at a relaxed pace before the cycling journey begins. Visitors can discover the historic Sagres Fortress, visit the legendary Cape St. Vincent—the south-westernmost point of mainland Europe—and admire the dramatic cliffs that define this stretch of coastline. The panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Atlantic provide some of the finest photo opportunities of the entire tour, while the town's laid-back atmosphere makes it an ideal introduction to the natural beauty and rich heritage of the Algarve.
