‍Bikepacking the Vicentina Coast – A Raw Adventure Between the Atlantic and Hidden Trails

From Lisbon to the Wild South – a pure escape on two wheels

The Vicentina Coast, nestled in the protected Southwest Alentejo Natural Park, is a forgotten paradise for bikepackers. Think rugged cliffs, sandy paths, eucalyptus forests and whitewashed villages perched above the Atlantic – this is Portugal at its wildest, most natural state.

At Baroudeur Cycling, we’ve created a unique route starting directly from Lisbon – with no complicated logistics. A smooth launch into the wild.

Lisbon to the Wild South – Easy Start, Real Freedom

  • Departure from Lisbon – easy access by plane, train, or even the new France–Portugal night train.
  • Bike delivery available – bring your own gear or arrive hands-free, we’ll take care of the rest.
  • Pre-departure briefing & bike check – done right in Lisbon, before your first pedal stroke.
    From the city streets to wild dirt paths, the transition is instant.

Why Bikepack the Vicentina Coast?

  • Wild, versatile terrain – whether you ride gravel, MTB or adventure bikes, this coastline adapts to your style.
  • Unreal scenery – red cliffs, desert beaches, flower-covered hills, and eucalyptus woods.
  • Flexible route format – 3 to 5 days, tailored to your level, timing and travel rhythm.

A True Baroudeur Adventure – Minimalist but Mastered

This is stripped-back adventure with nothing left to chance:

✔️ Custom GPX routes, based on your fitness and goals
✔️ Carefully selected accommodations – starlit bivouacs or cosy guesthouses
✔️ Optional support – baggage transfers or bike pickup if needed
✔️ Ongoing Baroudeur support – before, during, and after your ride

You ride free – but you're never alone.

Who Is This Trip For?

  • Cyclists seeking raw, immersive riding
  • Nature lovers and open-space nomads
  • Free spirits looking for an off-the-map Portugal

Best Time to Go?

  • Spring (March–June): firm trails, lush landscapes, perfect temperatures
  • Autumn (September–November): golden light, warm ocean, peaceful vibes
  • Avoid summer: too hot and too crowded
