The ride begins where Atlantic wind chases the cliffs—salt in the air, tires whispering over compact dirt as the coast unfurls to the west. Riders leave the village of Almoçageme and follow a loop that threads sea-facing lanes, cork-oak woodland and open ridgelines, arriving at iconic spots like Cabo da Roca and the mist-prone Santuário da Peninha.
