Our chains set us free: Bike trip to Tavira

As always winter is very summery in Algarve so our friend EVS from Faro Alexandross inspired all of us to go to Tavira by bicycles. Saying all of US i mean the new volunteers as well...
Yes, yes... in the beggining of Februry we wellcome to our EVS familiy 3 girls: Tabea (Germany), Martina (Macedonia) and Busra (Turkey).
Well, the idea was challanging and at the same time very interesting: cycle 23 km is not the same as cycling from the Cube to the Port and back and there is no Catita in the middle to go, have a rest, drink cervejinha etc.
So we went out folowing the EN125 road that leads to Tavira.
There is also a Eco road, very short and nice but you know, we are EVS, we love the challenge :D

For those who want to know about "EcoVia do Algarve", it is a coastal route that links Cape St. Vincent (Sagres) in the west point of Algarve and the city of Vila Real de Santo António (V.R.S.A.) in the east border with Spain. It is part of EuroVelo route 1 that links Sagres to the North Cape, in Norway, and is also known as the Atlantic Coast Route.


After 2 hours of cycling we get to Tavira...again, it was one of the best places we have ever been in Algarve. City is devided into 2 parts by Gilão River which meets the Atlantic Ocean.
And yes, will be better if we just show you all the pictures. Enjoy







Ah yes, on the way back we found an "increadable" praia in Algarve #ifyouknowwhatimean ...Praia that will change you understandings about them at all :D at least the photo we did there was good
