Cycling Portugal

Cycling in the Azores means riding through volcanic terrain, coastal roads and quiet inland landscapes that change quickly from one section to the next.

There’s a moment most riders remember the first time they pedal in Madeira. You round a corner, the road kicks up again, and suddenly the Atlantic opens out below you. It’s quiet. Your legs are already working. And you realise pretty quickly that this island doesn’t hand anything over for free.
