Stage 1

Wednesday May 05 2021 - Portimao to Lagos - 195.6 km
 

The inaugural stage will be for sprinters, starting in Lagos and ending in Portimão, after covering 189.5 kilometers. The final part of the trip, along the coast, promises to offer fantastic images of the Algarve beaches.

Portimão, which has welcomed the start of the Volta ao Algarve in recent years, has not received an end of stage since 2012, the year when Bradley Wiggins imposed himself in a time trial, months before winning the Tour de France.
