    What we do mean with holistic cycling?

    We want to bring a new aspect into cycling. Nothing new, everything remains the same, but we give you perspective to #change.

    We believe that movement and rest belong together. As in breathing, there is also a zero Point in every Movement, a Point of rest, almost not perceptible, a barely audible pause. Healthy and mindful breathing is the key to more Performance, to more Power.

    Our favorite Routes

    It´s just a first glimpse of a great potential what the Algarve has to offer as a cycling playground on very high standards, in the view of length, variety and altitude. It's stunning, fun terrain.

    In the shady patchwork of eucalyptus trees, pines and gnarled cork oaks, the often 30-35° can be well endured. Driving winds bring cooling. Whether summer or winter, the conditions are always perfect for training.

    Its absolutely cycling heaven, to have this on empty winding roads

    The One

    101 km | 4,16 h | 1840 vm

    We also call it the rollercoaster. After a nice 15 km warm-up and after the turnover it goes up smoothly, than a short downhill before it gets steep up, some nice straights, smooth climbs again where you always can keep a nice pace and take the speed up for the next, curvey climb. It's crazy, it is so much fun.You don't feel that you don't want to take a rest till the long climb up to Cachopa, Thats the coffee- /Juice-  & and Almond- cake break. We absolutely love the route.

    BCA _ Buddhism Curves & Altitude

    72 km | 3 h | 1280 vm

    No rush, my friend, no rush - cycling is awareness, it's about focusing on your thoughts to gain more power. Sure it kind of is, but I'm struggling right now not to fall off the bike right away on this cursed steep ramp and trotzedm I love it. It's really work up here to Malhao, the road to the Buddhist monastery. 

    I know it already, when I'm right up there, all I can hear is the wind and my breath. That's why I do this, I think, for that feeling. Today my line that I have drawn on the asphalt with my GPS will not be the most beautiful, just a tumbling line, maybe not the fastest time, but once again the best time on the bike. 

    The

    Citrus Ride

    91 Km | 3:29 h | 810 VM

    Through the agricultural heart of the Algarve. Oranges, lemons, olives, figs and carobs are the defining agricultural crops here in the west. Between larger and smaller plantations of citrus plants leads this tour, which could not be more pleasant. Because with the half time the beach of Albufeira waits for us. In Alte is given to one in the summer cooling in an impressive waterfall. The small town, celebrates racing cyclists especially. -Race bike jerseys hang over the road.

    Into

    Monchique,

    up to

    Alto da Foia

    Hardly recognizable, the peak of Alto da Foia rises above the other hilltops of Monchique in the Algarve. It is only at second glance that one understands that, at 902 meters, it is the highest point in the Algarve. If you want to reach it by bike, you have to be prepared for a hard ride. Steep ramps and countless curves characterize the tour. From wherever you start, you have at least 900 meters of altitude ahead of you. Up and ups accumulate to an acceptable result wär after altitude rides. At the end of the day you know in any case what you have done.

    FAQ´s

    • How far is the airport?

      The Airport is just 18 Kilometer away from our property. 15 min drive. 

    • How far is the beach?

      For many years we have been convinced Portugal has the greatest variety of stunning beaches. And the most important; they are all very clean.  The nearest beaches are just 15-20 minutes away from us. Ilha Faro, "little Venice Beach" is right next to the airport, you can hardly hear the planes. The beaches of Almancil, Quinta do Lago are similarly far away, 5 kilometers further west. Steeper coasts can be discovered from Albufeira no matter whether on the highway or main road in 30 minutes you are there.

    • Do I need a car for the stay?

      We offer a shuttle service for our training sessions, team rides and the transfer to the airport. In general, we have to say that a rental car is recommended for all your own undertakings, you can also visit the beautiful beaches or get to know the Portuguese cuisine in the evening. What works very well here in Portugal is UBER and for a really good price, which in our opinion falls more favorable than in Germany.



    • Is there a possibilty to cook for my self?

      Yes sure. In our fully Equipt Pool Kitchn you have the possibilty to cook for you self. But we recon that the prices are für Breakfas, Snacks for Lunchtime are included. So you don´t need to, if don´t want. 

    • Any good restaurants around?

      There are incredibly many good restaurants in the area. The best ones are about 15 minutes by car from our Quinta. Great emphasis is placed on the food everywhere. We learn ourselves to explore secret tips to the honest, Portuguese restaurants, off the beaten path. We have already discovered one of them. Read more in our travel guide.

    • Is the property suitable for children?

      On more than 10000 square meters there is a lot to discover and there is a lot of free space. But there is also a little "danger". On the property there are tropical plants with thorns and spines. Especially palm trees have thorns on their leaves. In the lower part of the garden there is a pond with sharp-edged reeds. The pond itself is not deep, but certainly deep enough for small ones to drown. An important point is our swimming pool. The pool is not fenced and, as everywhere, poses a danger to children who cannot yet swim. 

      We ask all parents to be responsible here and to look after the little ones.

    • What can you expect from Loulé?

      Loulé is a quiet but lively place only 18 kilometers from the coast and the port city of Faro. Even in winter, this place is filled with life. In summer, you can find shade in its small streets with a café or in the early evening with a glass of wine. Countless street festivals, music, and theme festivals take place in this secret cultural metropolis. Loulé probably has the largest number of cycling clubs in the Algrave. Road cycling is honored here with a statue in the traffic circle.

    • Am I too old or too young to join the group?

      There is no age we care about; and say .. sorry too...! I Think you know it how fit you are, I think you no how old your body feels. So often that the older are way faster than the younger. But we are not competing here. It is training for all of us, every day again. And we care for you. 

    • Can I keep up with the team?

      You are the team, a link in the chain and sometimes the train ;-). Sure there will be faster ones and everybody has its pace, we let them go, and let them come back or ask everybody to wait when the people get out of sight. 

    • How long is a ride, how many Kilometers a day?

      If you can cycle a 80 Kilometers a day you will be all fine. Than you also can make a 100 we are sure. But we like to talk in hours not in Kilometers and thsi will be 3 to 5 hours a day. And also we are not tierd to mention  that with massages, nutrition, coaching and the fact that we take care of everything else, getting back on the bike each morning, will be easier than ever before. 

    • How do I book?
