Forge your own path of European discovery with self-guided cycling tours. This summer, Pure Adventures, well-known for designing game plans for adventurous cycling vacations throughout Europe and the U.K., introduces a new itinerary focused on coastal Portugal.

“In Europe, it’s still possible to find wild and untrammeled nature,” said Loren Siekman, founder/director, Pure Adventures. “This is especially true in Portugal where our company maximizes the diversity of the country’s national parks.”

Pure Adventures programs are self-guided and inclusive of accommodations, breakfasts, luggage transport, a road book with route maps, cue sheets, site visit information and other destination information, emergency service and telephone assistance in English locally, cell phone for use with local contacts, orientation and personalized assistance on arrival day, rental bike delivery, pickup and fitting.

Portugal Heritage & Coastal Tour starts at the medieval town of Obidos, the first of several historic towns along the coast. Obidos, originally a Roman village, was taken from the Moors in 1148. Its castle is classified as a national monument. Other highlights include a walking tour of Sintra, a ride along the Sierra to the westernmost point on the European mainland and a ride to the coastal city of Cascais.
