Introducing the `Historic Convents of the Alentejo, 5-Day Cycling Tour`
Hi everybody!
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you for your inquiries and to those who have joined us on our 1-day and 3-day tours so far in 2025. We are very happy to announce that we are fully booked until the end of October for our multi-day tours into the enchanting heart of the Alentejo. Some of the tours have opted for a 5-day extension, which is fantastic! Our vision at www.veracruzcycling.com has always been to tailor-make experiences for small groups, ensuring you receive personalized attention. Our motto, "Cultural Exploration over Mileage," allows us to savor the beautiful moments in between—like our lovely lunch stops featuring rustic food and great local wines, historical landmarks, and stunning accommodations.
We are already receiving bookings for 2026 and 2027! If you're planning a trip, let’s chat and create an itinerary that suits your needs. We can also help you plan your stay in Lisbon and surrounds. Don’t miss our `Tagus River Heritage and Traditional Lunch Tour`, which has just received a badge of excellence from Viator/TripAdvisor! Our multi-day tours depart from Lisbon to the Alentejo, and on the days surrounding your cycling adventure, we offer an off-the-beaten-path walking and food tour of Lisbon, where the true heartbeat of the city comes alive.
Thanks to your valuable feedback, we’re excited to announce our brand-new tour: Historic Convents of the Alentejo, 5-Day Cycling Tour. Discover beautiful, centuries-old abandoned convents transformed into stunning accommodations, bringing to life a glorious past of deep spiritual awakening amidst the vast rolling hills of Alentejo-Baixo. Many of these historic treasures are adorned with beautiful original azulejos (Portuguese tiles) and are connected by the lesser-known, mystical rural roads of southern Portugal.
We’re planning our inaugural Historic Convents of the Alentejo Tour from December 27 to 31, 2025. If you’re interested, please reach out, and we’ll provide you with a detailed itinerary, including the route and accommodations.
We look forward to hearing from you! If you haven’t subscribed to my blog, `Portugal Less Traveled` (on our main site page), be sure to do so for updates on new discoveries that are part of our Vera Cruz journey.
Stay safe and be blessed!
Warm regards,
Nibs and Mauro
