Bike & Bites — E-Bike Culinary Tour of Rural Algarve

Bike & Bites (Private E-Bike Tour)

We start the day at Gato Preto de Silves, where we welcome you personally and introduce the plan for your private e-bike adventure. Over freshly brewed coffee, homemade treats and seasonal fruits from our garden, you’ll meet your guide and review the personalised route we’ll follow together. This warm, relaxed start sets the tone for the day, inviting you into the quiet, genuine rhythm of rural Algarve — simple, authentic, and far from the crowds.

From here, we begin our ride on comfortable e-bikes, following a personalised route through white-washed villages, orange groves, cork oak forests and the soft rolling hills of the Barrocal. Because this tour is private, the pace adapts entirely to you: more stops, more stories, more time to enjoy the landscape without rushing.

Along the way, we visit a small artisanal fig factory, where local producers keep alive the craft behind Algarve’s most iconic sweets. It’s an intimate encounter with real people, real traditions and a flavour you won’t find in tourist shops.

As we continue, breathtaking views open up around every bend. With baskets filled with local flavours, we reach a quiet panoramic viewpoint — a place only locals know. Here we prepare a rustic yet beautifully curated picnic, featuring regional products, seasonal specialties and the ingredients collected during the tour. It’s a relaxed, convivial moment, framed by the endless valleys surrounding Silves.

On the return route, we stop by a hidden lake, adding a peaceful and contemplative pause before cycling back to Gato Preto.

This is not a performance or a race — it’s a fully private, curated day outdoors, designed to show you the most honest, simple and scenic side of the Algarve. A blend of nature, culture and genuine local flavours, shared only with the people you choose to travel with.

N.B. If guests have any dietary requirements, please ensure they inform us in advance when contacting us to book the gifted experience.
