Your day-by-day itinerary

Arrival at the farm

Today you’ll drive off the beaten track via a dirt road to arrive at a working cork farm, where you’ll be spending the next three nights. Take the afternoon to relax, before hitting the biking trails tomorrow. The estate is the perfect hideaway allowing you to combine nature with your more active tendencies. The family who owns the farm serves tapas in their own restaurant, allowing you to fill up ready for tomorrow’s exertions.

After a hearty breakfast you will jump on your bikes and hit one of four tracks which have been set out on the farm grounds, each track is suitable for different ability levels and moods. You can also choose to walk one of the tracks if you prefer. After all the effort, head back to the farmhouse and the pool for a refreshing dip.

Free time

Yesterday was a day for being active, so today is left free for you to have some time to yourself. There are many beaches in the area, Aberta Nova is popular with locals and only 15-minute drive away, or Comporta which is more lively with many beach bars and where it is all about seeing and being seen. Alternatively, you can go dolphin-spotting in a nearby river or drive to the Tróia peninsula to enjoy its wide sandy beach.

Departure from Grandola

After three nights on the farm and with many experience still fresh in your memory, it is time to leave. From here you can travel further south to the beaches of the Algarve , the cliffs of Vila Nova de Milfontes or decide to head north.
