own lounges, balcony, kitchenette,
bathroom in fact, everything you
need to relax and unwind. The
Algarve offers incredible coastal
runs, woodland trails, tracks for
speed work and of course, lovely
local areas and marinas to explore
and kick back in. If you are looking
for cycling training and want
something challenging, this is the
place with the local Monchique
Mountains
and
surrounding
fabulous routes and with quiet,
and well maintained roads, you
can be sure that your training will
be smooth and uninterrupted.
