Experience

Comporta by bicycle

At Casa Fortunato, we believe the best moments are those that allow us to slow down and connect with nature. A bicycle ride between Alcácer do Sal and Comporta, following the *Vala dos Regantes* (Irrigation Canal) and passing by the *Cais Palafítico* (stilt wood pier).

Spanning 23 kilometers, this route runs alongside the Sado River and traverses some of the region’s most iconic landscapes: rice paddies stretching to the horizon, centuries-old salt pans, and waterways reflecting the area’s unique light. Amidst the tranquility of each pedal stroke—which invites quiet contemplation—there is time for birdwatching and discovering a territory where nature still sets the daily rhythm.

Some journeys are measured not merely in kilometers, but in emotions. It is an accessible route, ideal for a leisurely pace, offering plenty of opportunities to stop, take photos, or simply admire the surrounding beauty.

Price per electric bike 150€ per day
