I biked and hiked around Azenhas do Mar and the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park this week and honestly didn’t expect how quiet this stretch of coast would be.
A few notes for anyone planning a trip:
• Wind is brutal going north
• Water refill spots are rare after Praia Grande
• The climb back toward Sintra is short but steep
• This route would be amazing as a half-day gravel ride
Has anyone here ridden the coast further north toward Ericeira? Worth it?
I filmed the ride if anyone wants to see the terrain/road conditions: Short ride report: Sintra → Azenhas do Mar coast (water, wind & climbs notes)
