The Algarve is absolutely beautiful, but cycle touring here brings a whole new set of challenges! Day 80 takes us away from the mountains of Monchique and down toward the coast. Along the way, there are some tricky EuroVelo detours, brilliant local supermarket hacks, and a explore through the stunning Arabic architecture of historic Silves.
As the sun starts going down, the real challenge begins: finding a quiet, respectful stealth camping spot on the Algarve coast when the season is already picking up! 🍷🧀
