Has anyone got any road cycle routes in the Algarve, specifically looping from and return to Alvor or Portimao area. I have found a couple on the internet but need a few more for a week holiday. Distance about 50 miles give or take. Dont mind a few climbs or on the flats. I can design my own on Garmin but tried and tested routes would help.
Since no-one has replied I'll mention
CycleTravel, a pretty useful tool for planning routes on quieter, more scenic routes. It has a "loop" suggestion function for a chosen distance and elevation can be seen. It plays nice with gps units or will create maps and route instructions if you prefer. Sharing is easy, too.
It was used pretty successfully for something similar
recently, albeit in a different location.
Be warned about pulling random routes for that part of the world without some context. Night cycling can be a thing in these parts of the world. I recently came across someone who had been having a bad time on busy roads following routes found on the net. I'm pretty sure he was riding them at the wrong time of the day.
Good luck!
