THE PATH

The southern route presents the chance to have nothing but the ocean by our side.

This route features a dedicated cycle lane stretching for 34km / 21 miles.

Beyond the picturesque ocean coast, we can encounter beautiful beaches with ample sandy shores, along with bars and hidden gems like a chapel constructed atop a rock in the midst of the beach.

For a tranquil ride with minimal to no traffic and a cycle lane spanning nearly the entire journey, this is the recommended route.

Enjoy the energy of the Atlantic Ocean and his stunning views by renting on one of our electric bicycles!
