Itinerary

1

Start at Praça do Comércio (8:30 AM)

Begin your ride from the heart of Lisbon, heading east toward the Tagus river.

2

Passadiço Ride Along the River

We leave Lisbon and head into the peaceful countryside, riding the scenic wooden boardwalk (Passadiço) right next to the Tagus River. This section is flat, fun, and offers beautiful views of the surrounding nature.

3

Cross the River and Stop at EVOA

We cross the river via the bridge, and right after, we finally enter the gravel section of the tour and quiet paths surrounded by nature. We arrive at EVOA, a peaceful nature reserve in the wetlands. We stop for a relaxing coffee break, and if we’re lucky, we might spot flamingos, storks, or other rare migratory birds.

4

Ride to Benavente

We continue along flat gravel paths beside the Rio Sorraia and its canal, riding through peaceful rural landscapes. This scenic stretch offers great photo opportunities, a relaxed pace, and a deeper connection with nature before we stop for lunch in Benavente.

Traditional Lunch in Benavente

Refuel with a hearty local meal at a traditional Portuguese restaurant.
