Portugal packs a pretty punch when it comes to natural adventures, with a landscape that caters for hikers and bikers, wine connoisseurs and spiritual seekers. Head north for the camino or the Douro, or saunter along the southern shores of the Fishermen’s Trail through Alentejo and the Algarve. For top cycling tours on mainland Portugal, the Camino Portugues takes you along trails that feel like a pedalling pilgrimage through time. With plenty of stops along the way, as with all of Portugal, for super local food and wine. Portugal may have its mass tourism hotspots, but it also has a mass of green and gorgeous trails that tie into a dedicated sustainable tourism network.
