Northbound Route
Starting near Faro, the journey begins on the Algarve’s west coast, where exposed beaches and clifftop views set the tone for the first days. From here, the route heads north into the Alentejo, a quieter and less developed stretch of coastline defined by long beaches, small towns, and a slower pace.
As the week continues, the landscape becomes more familiar and surf-focused, passing through the versatile breaks around Peniche before finishing near Lisbon. The final days offer reliable surf, good coffee, and an easy re-entry into city life, closing the journey in a relaxed and natural way.
Each stop is chosen for its surf potential, overnight comfort, and sense of place — creating a route that feels cohesive, unhurried, and connected to the coast.
