The route heading northwards out of Castro Marim is challenging but the scenery is beautiful. Be sure to stop on the Cerro do Enho and drink in the fabulous 360º view over the eastern Algarve. Ride downhill towards the Beliche dam and keep going through Portela Alta de Cima before joining the old EN 122 road through the typical village of Azinhal. Before arriving back in Castro Marim, you will also pass through the villages of Junqueira and Monte Francisco.
