the river arade you will cycle on quiet back roads surrounded by orange trees and cork oaks whilst breathing in some of the most unpolluted air in europe of phoenician origin silves was once one of the most thriving centres of the arab iberian world then called xelb it was inhabited by the moors who introduced their culture scholars and poets architecture and agricultural techniques to the algarve in those ancient times silves was an important city more important even than lisbon from silves you will move to the northern part of algarve to the ranges of espinhaço de cão and serra de monchique this brightly coloured region with its fig trees orange groves and almond trees is also the most verdant and fertile caldas de monchique owes its fame to the hot mineral baths frequented by the romans and later by the gentry of the middle ages its sulphurous water is thought to help rheumatism caldas has undergone major renovation intended to restore the village to the spa centre it once was moving west you enter aljezur situated on the western atlantic coast of portugal aljezur differs enormously from the tourist resorts the beaches are shingled and exposed to the winds the town is dominated by a muslim fortification with a cistern and its typical round towers cycling in a southerly direction we are in the middle of the costa vicentina natural park this park is a feast for the eyes a landscape vibrant with natural beauty so little touched by the passing centuries that it seems barely to have registered man s presence at all it offers unparalleled vistas of a truly wild coastline towering cliffs drop hundreds of feet into the sea see vast stretches of pristine empty beaches rich inter tidal ecosystems with rare plants and animals this is a paradise for bird watchers nature lovers artists photographers and soul searchers for all the world class discoveries credited to portuguese explorers through the centuries thankfully a stunning part of portugal is left for us to discover during the last part of the tour you visit the southern coastline which consists of a long stretch of fabulous sandy beaches broken up by extraordinary rugged cliffs and fantastic grottoes land of fishermen facing the atlantic ocean the algarve is a paradise for anyone who enjoys fish and shellfish each day at the break of dawn the boats arrive with the harvest collected in their nets during the night the most striking craft is the making of decorative tiles known as azulejos a technique the portuguese learnt from the moors cycling holidays portugal is a member of responsible
