Self-Guided Cycling Holidays in the Algarve

Freedom, Flexibility and Expert Support — On Your Terms

The Algarve is more than a postcard-perfect coastline. It’s a land of contrasts and quiet roads, where sun-drenched hills meet ocean cliffs, and ancient villages nestle between orchards and nature reserves.

At Baroudeur Cycling, we offer self-guided cycling trips designed for riders who crave autonomy — without compromising on logistics, comfort or safety. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or simply seeking a two-wheeled escape, our routes give you full control, backed by pro-level preparation.

Why Choose a Self-Guided Trip?

Total Freedom. Zero Stress.

This is your ride. Your pace. Your rules.

✔️ Want to hit a climb at sunrise? Go.
✔️ Fancy a detour to a beach or village café? Do it.
✔️ Prefer to take it slow and soak in the views? You’re in charge.

You ride independently, but with the confidence of perfectly crafted GPX routes, premium logistics and expert local support available at any time.

It's self-guided, not solo. You’re never alone — unless you want to be.

Your Ride. Your Schedule.

With a Baroudeur self-guided trip, your day is yours to shape.

You’ll enjoy:

✅ A flexible daily rhythm
✅ The freedom to stop where and when you want
✅ Tailored routes to match your level and goals

Whether you want to explore coastal cliffs, hidden beaches or mountain villages — your itinerary is built around your preferences.
