Faro, Portugal.

Yes, this. Was there in June though, not sure what it be like in winter. Best road was southbound from Alfierce, wish I took that one the other way around, since the descent was too fast to fully appreciate the surroundings. We stayed in Silves, a nice quiet town with enough bars/restaurants to accomodate us tourists. We had very decent rental bikes (ultegra/disc-swift frames) that were delivered at our doorstep, strictly on time I might add. Have to admit I've had cheaper holidays, but covid has made many things very expensive in the tourist industry. Food/drinks still very affordable though, in my view.
