The Mediofondo has a more accessible route, ideal for those who seek a relaxed Sunday morning, with the possibility of ending their sportive journey in time to watch the last stage that will decide this year’s edition of the Volta ao Algarve.
This will be a journey of immersion on the most genuine and least known landscapes of the Algarve.
