Fonte Benémola is a protected area of natural beauty covering almost 400 hectares covered by Olive, Almond, Orange, and Carob trees. Water tends to run all year with freshwater springs, watermills, dams, waterfalls, and stepping stones, and the largest spring is called ‘O Olho’ (the eye) and is teeming with wildlife. We ride from our Hub through small country lanes before hitting the trails of the Via Algarviana that lead us into the hills high above the coast with spectacular views along the way with many perfect photo opportunities. We will pit stop for refreshments along the way at one of the many rustic Portuguese cafés.
