Discover the Ria Formosa Natural Park on a bike tour

The bike tour was well organized. The bikes in good condition, the small group a fun bunch. PLEASE sunbonoo - but also offers this tour as a full day tour. The coast is over 60km long and there is still a lot to "cycle" on.

Naturpark Ria Formosa mit einer Radtour entdecken

Die Fahrradtour war prima organisiert. Die Räder im guten Zustand, die kleine Gruppe ein lustiger Haufen. BITTE sunbonoo – Bietet diese Tour doch auch als Ganztagestour an. Die Küste ist über 60km lang und es gäbe noch viel zu „erradeln“.

The pedal as a symbol of life

To be kicked is to be pushed forward. Algarve - on the bike: complementation with every step. Relaxation despite body tension. Natural landscape, Ilha de Faro, outrageously blue sea. Its breeze caresses me. Every step on the pedals takes a breath. Forward and yet no matter the direction or the goal. Then the sweaty body thrown into the equally impudently blue sea. The life. The pedals ._____________ (Stars for that? - Well, stars are sacred. There are probably only asterisks here ... - five of them!)

Show review in original language

Das Pedal als Symbol des Lebens

Getreten werden, bedeutet vorwärtsgetrieben zu werden. Algarve – auf dem Velo: Komplementation bei jedem Tritt. Entspannung trotz Körperspannung. Naturlandschaft, Ilha de Faro, unverschämt blaues Meer. Es streichelt mich seine Brise. Jeder Tritt in die Pedale ein Atemzug. Vorwärts und doch egal die Richtung, das Ziel. Dann den verschwitzten Körper in das genauso unverschämt blaue Meer geworfen. Das Leben. Die Pedale._____________(Dafür Sterne? - Na gut Sterne sind heilig. Es sind hier wohl nur Sternchen …- derer fünf!)

A tour for body and soul

What a difference to cycling in the city: the natural landscape and the sea air have a beneficial effect. The salt pans let me take a deep breath ... Thanks for this trip.

Eine Tour für Körper und Seele

Welch ein Unterschied zum Radeln in der Stadt: Naturlandschaft und Seeluft wirken wohltuend. Die Salinen ließen mich tief durchatmen… Danke für diesen Ausflug.
