Sandy tracks, open skies and the soft coastal landscape create a beautifully unhurried way to discover this quieter side of the Algarve. The experience is kept intimate, with only a small number of riders joining each trek. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"432\" data-content-reference-end=\"474\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1n4nrdt\" dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"471\" data-end=\"491\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"475\" data-end=\"491\"\u003eThe Experience\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"493\" data-end=\"514\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTowards the Coast\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"516\" data-end=\"822\"\u003eWe begin at the farm before heading towards the nature reserve.
