Family holidays in Alentejo
Alentejo is more laidback than the Algarve with its evergreen and water-gobbling golf courses and over-busy beaches, but it’s no less fun for families. And given that it’s beloved by Portuguese families – many adults can instantly recall their own happy childhood memories of Alentejo – it’s a pretty safe bet yours will too. You might stay in a traditional whitewashed resort on the Atlantic coast, with surfing, canoeing and stand up paddle boarding on the itinerary; plus cycling, walking and even abseiling if you go inland. And those sunsets...Cycling holidays
No surprises that Alentejo is a superb destination for cycling holidays, though probably give it a swerve in late July and August. Don’t expect anything too strenuous; cycling here is all about soaking up the magnificent countryside and coastal scenery, but there are more ambitious routes out there if you prefer. Cycling trips here are usually tailor made and self guided, giving you independence within an achievable framework, and the option to build in relaxation days where you want. Daily distances range from 30-60km, and you can expect all the support you need, including luggage transfers and comprehensive route maps.Walking holidays

When to visit Alentejo


“Fabulous. Stages were the right length, comfortable but varied hotels. Lovely people. The trail is spectacular and I’m pleased we started from the beginning and saw some of the inland. Portugal is easier for vegetarians than other European countries. Fresh, wholesome food.” – D.H. Dharmavasita in a review of a self guided walking holiday in Portugal
