Itinerary
Your Volta ao Algarve Experience
Day 1

Get your bike and we will take you on a short warm up before a longer ride in the afternoon through the Barrocal area of the Algarve.
Day 2
Your ride will take you from Salgados to Malhão, a ride that will take about 2 and a half hours and is not too taxing. We will ride to the Alto do Malhão and watch the GC contenders compete on the summit finish.

This will be a big day as you take on the Granfondo Algarve! You will start the day early and the sportive begins in Lagoa. Choose to ride any of the 3 distances, 50km, 86k or the full Granfondo which is 132k. Each route summits Foia, a tough 15km climb. At midday, the pros will race the last stage of the Volta ao Algarve, an individual time trial in Lagoa which we will go and watch.
Day 4
After breakfast, you will check out and we will take you back to Faro airport, or if you prefer, you can extend your stay with us and join our 7 day trip.

What our Cyclists Say
Awesome customer Service like it used to be. I admit that I'm one of many people who have taken to booking holidays and flights direct to save a few quid. But when planning my husband's 50th birthday and knowing very little about cycling I decided to try Love Velo and I can't recommend them, and the service I've received from James Danvers highly enough.

I booked through Love Velo because the reviews were so good. I wasn't disappointed. Right from my first contact with LV they were easy to talk to and although I dithered (my first cycling trip abroad) they didn't press me. When I eventually confirmed my booking they took care of everything.

Everything about Love Velo has been faultless. From the initial notification of them teaming up with Le Col and to the pricing being unbelievable and then the customer service, top class. James, if all the staff are as attentive to every detail as you are then everyone will be as lucky as I have been. 100% at some point, hopefully in the near future I will be booking again with you guys. Thank you again
