Welcome to the trip that shows you some of the best cycling roads and beaches we have. 40 min south of Lisbon, contrast and resemblance live in harmony. So close, hills, castles, vast estuary, vineyards, fish market, blue ocean, and yet all so distinct and away from Lisbon’s urban rhythm.

Be our guest on a Mediterranean journey.

From Templar cistern and its once precious water to one of the best fish markets in the world, our e-bike tour Arrábida will take us along the coastal , scenic roads of the Arrábida natural park on a eco-friendly bike ride that can only add extra “motivation” for a dip in the Best Beach in Europe 2017 and a picnic.

You only need to select the assistance level on your e-bike and you can work as hard or as little as you may want along the hills.

Red – Bright red gills, terracotta roof tiles, warm, joyful red wine.
White – White salt, white wandering cloud, white flaky fish.
Blue – Sheer celestial blue, all embracing sea.

About the bikes: It’s called “electric-assist” because that’s what it is; a boost when you need it, and a bike when you don’t. This isn’t a moped, and there’s no reason to feel guilty. It’s just another way to ride on your terms.

Palmela Castle

Winery visit and old Windmill

11:00 am: Visit a local winery and windmill. Off the beaten path of most tourists, Quinta do Piloto winery is in its fourth generation of wine producers. They are now prepared to show the winery to visitors and we take advantage on it. A few pedal strokes away puts us on the top of the hill and the scenic line of old windmills. Some became small houses while others are still working and producing delicious bread. Time to roll down the hill to Setubal Market.


Setúbal Market

12:00 am: Setubal Market. Here, the silvery variety of fresh fish, fruits and vegetables will make any market look like a obsolete boring version of this one, no wonder USA Today elected it one of the best fish markets in the world. Time to witness the daily hustle and interact with the lively local sellers while shopping for picnic.


Arrábida “Mediterranean style” roads

1:00 pm: Be our guest on a Mediterranean journey. From eco to turbo, select one of the five electric assistance levels that your Bosch co-cyclist offers as you ride along the Arrábida roads, our favourite balcony.

2:15 pm: What could be better than a eco-friendly bike ride to add extra motivation to a dip and a picnic?

Elected last April as the Best European Beach 2017, Galápos certainly has been our favourite for a long time. We will make a pause, go for a refreshing dip or swim and time for the picnic you bought at the market.
