Route: Faro (largo do sol posto) -> Ribeirinho park -> Ria Formosa salt basins -> Faro beach (parking) -> Faro beach eastern point -> back to Faro

Description: A bike trail that begins in Faro downtown (largo do sol posto) and crosses the beautiful landscape of the Ribeirinho park and the sea salt basins, to get to the breath-taking and unique view of the most western point of Faro beach, a hotspot for surfers, photographers, or people who want to be away from the hustle of the town and be in total contact with nature.

This trail can be quite demanding because of the length and remoteness of the place and requires a certain preparation, but still, it’s suitable for most of the daily riders who want to explore in one day the nature around the Ria Formosa lagoon and the virgin part of the Faro island.
