A little update from the Algarve this morning 🍊🍊🍊😁 #ourparadise
Today we’ve been exploring a little piece of #ou Today we’ve been exploring a little piece of #ourparadise close to Coimbra, in the north of Portugal 😍 
It’s always incredible to me how much the Portuguese landscape changes over a relatively short distance. 
Coimbra is on one of our brand new self-guided tours which takes in all of the gems of the North: Porto, the Douro Valley, Serra da Estrela and the Silver Coast which is launching soon on our website.

☀️EVORA☀️ On our N2 North to south tour, w ☀️EVORA☀️
On our N2 North to south tour, we often give guests the opportunity to divert off-route, to take in this stunning ancient city. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, with an impressive aqueduct into the city centre, Evora is worth a passing visit, ir even a rest day to wander the magical yellow and white streets.

We have done a number of gravel tours in the area too- and the region is especially beautiful in spring, when the rolling Alentejo hillsides blossom into life. 

Have you visited?

🇵🇹🇪🇸 IBERIAN DIVIDE GRAVEL TOUR 🇵🇹🇪🇸 
🚴🏼 850km, 10 days
📅 23rd Sept - 4th Oct 2025 
A stunning gravel tour from north to south of Portugal along the historic border with Spain. 
We created this gravel tour because we realised that the Portuguese - Spanish border was so unknown and full of hidden gems. The region is so untouched by modern life and tourism, making it a true exploration on two wheels. Find out more on our website, link in our bio 👆

Ryan completed a selfguided tour from Faro to Lisbon over the course of 9 days, he completed a total of 790KM and 8500M climbing! Such an amazing journey for a solo traveller and it was such a pleasure to meet him! 🤩

He also left us an amazing review with his take on his trip: 

“I recently finished a 9 day self-guided gravel tour of southern Portugal with the help of Paradise Cycling Tours, and I really had the best time! Can’t recommend Fiona and Grace enough. Having them plan the routes and hotels for me meant I could relax and focus on enjoying the riding and exploring this stunning country. Fiona has clearly spent years riding in this area, as the routes she plotted really were awesome. The sheer diversity of landscapes and riding far exceeded my expectations! Grace was always on hand via WhatsApp for any minor issues throughout the trip, and even helped me book into great restaurants each evening. For any cyclists looking to explore this beautiful part of the world, I’d highly recommend using Paradise Tours! 😃” 

Thank you Ryan 🩵

Our unique 10 day supported gravel tour, perfected over the last 3 years by us here at Paradise Cycling, is the perfect combination of amazing gravel, historic towns, beautiful landscapes, good food and wine… all through the relatively unexplored areas of Spain and Portugal. Each day is interesting and different to the last, tracing the border between Spain and Portugal.
It’s a tour we look forward to every year, and we’d love to have you along.
🎄We can also produce printed Christmas vouchers for you to give a loved one as a gift too 🎄
Spots are available for 2025 - dates are the 23rd September to 4th October 2025.
