Here, the asphalt winds through flowering valleys, past cork oaks and orange groves. We follow mountain roads and ridgelines with fantastic views of the Atlantic and Portugal\u2019s southern coast.<\/p>\n<p>While motorcycles in the Nordics are still tucked away for winter, the Algarve is green and sunny. Some days, it\u2019s warm enough that we\u2019re happy to seek out the shade of a cork oak when it\u2019s time for a break. For those of us from the Nordics, it feels like arriving in the middle of summer.<\/p>\n<h3>Motorcycle Tour in the Algarve \u2013 The Perfect Start to the Season<\/h3>\n<p>South Coast is our motorcycle tour in the Algarve for those who love winding asphalt roads. It\u2019s a chance to rediscover your riding feel, pick up valuable tips from our instructors and get plenty of kilometres under your belt \u2013 before it\u2019s time to bring your own motorcycle out for the season back home.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been exploring the roads of the Algarve for almost two decades. Over the years, we\u2019ve found countless favourites, discovered new ones and continued searching for those little roads and perfect combinations that make a truly great day of riding. That experience is what South Coast is built on \u2013 and what shapes the roads we choose today.<\/p>\n<h3>CHILL or PULSE \u2013 You Choose<\/h3>\n<p>We ride the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/ridenordic.com\/en\/adventuretours\/motorcycles-safety-support\/#section_0\">BMW R 1300 GS models<\/a> and split into<strong> CHILL<\/strong> and <strong>PULSE<\/strong> groups based on experience, pace and preference. This means you can ride in the way that suits you best \u2013 and easily switch groups during the day if you wish.<\/p>\n<p>The tour is also perfect for bringing a passenger. The combination of fantastic asphalt roads, comfortable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whiteshellbeachvillas.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accommodation by the sea<\/a> and the Algarve itself makes South Coast just as much a wonderful holiday together as a truly great motorcycle experience.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of curves. Sunshine, sea and the pure joy of riding. And almost two decades spent exploring the Algarve\u2019s asphalt roads and discovering the real gems along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to our Algarve.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos on this page: Ann Cathrin Erga, Johan Ahlberg, Joachim Cruus, Niclas Elneus, John Brown, David Johansson<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe  id=\"_ytid_73621\"  width=\"480\" height=\"270\"  data-origwidth=\"480\" data-origheight=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/JkJ221Grs1U?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29174,"parent":0,"menu_order":2,"template":"","class_list":["post-23884","aventyrsresor","type-aventyrsresor","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Motorcycle Tour in the Algarve | Portugal \u2013 South Coast<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Explore the Algarve on a BMW R 1300 GS with Ride Nordic.
