Detailed Tour Route
The route crosses one of Spain’s most iconic and culturally rich regions, Andalusia, combining rolling countryside, olive groves, and historic landscapes shaped by centuries of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian influences. From quiet country roads and disused railway lines to the vibrant cities of Córdoba, Seville, and Granada, the journey offers a constant variety of scenery, heritage, and culture, including visits to some of Spain’s most emblematic UNESCO sites such as the Mezquita in Córdoba, the Alcázar in Seville, and the Alhambra in Granada.
The cuisine in Andalusia is rooted in bold Mediterranean flavours and deeply traditional recipes, reflecting a strong regional identity. From fresh local produce and rich olive oil to classic specialities such as tapas, salmorejo, and pescaíto frito, the region offers a vibrant and authentic gastronomic experience. After a day of cycling, each stop becomes an opportunity to enjoy the simplicity, generosity, and excellence of southern Spain’s culinary culture.
Itinerary
15 km 10 miles through city streets
Individual arrival in Córdoba. Check-in at your 4* hotel, followed by a cycling tour of the city until early in the afternoon. In the late afternoon we are free to visit the Mosque and the picturesque historic centre. Then dinner.
10 centuries ago, Córdoba was one of the biggest and most influential cities in the world and the capital of Muslim Spain. Today Córdoba is well-known for its XII c. mosque but the city abounds with artistic and architectural treasures. The old Arab and Jewish quarters with their narrow streets offer the visitor a unique experience.
45 km / 30 miles on a disused railway track
After breakfast we leave Cordoba by minibus to visit a famous winery in Montilla, the town giving its name to the world-renowned wine. We proceed by minibus to Lucena, where we begin cycling along the old rail track which is known as the “Via del Aceite”. After our lunch stop, we continue cycling for some more miles through the olive groves. Dinner at the hotel of our choice.
Zuheros, one of the most picturesque villages in Andalusia, hangs from a rocky outcrop on the edge of a nature reserve. The castle and palace enjoy a spectacular position on top of an enormous rock, commanding splendid views of the Andalucian countryside. For those interested, the Bat Cave, 4 km. away, boasts a collection of extraordinary limestone formations.
40 km / 28 miles with a modest initial climb along a wide rural track
After breakfast in Zuheros we cycle to the village of Baena to visit a certified organic olive oil producer. After the visit we bicycle to Luque and then on to Priego, crossing the impressive landscapes of “Sierra Subbética” mountain range. Following our descent we will stop for lunch at Carcabuey. In the afternoon, we cycle on to Priego where we dine at the hotel, or in a restaurant of our choice.Surrounded by olive groves and with a fine mediaeval castle, Priego is a small and delightfully picturesque town, considered the cradle of Spanish baroque architecture. The town is a maze of incredibly narrow streets, a labyrinth of whitewashed walls, cobblestone pavements and corners and niches over- flowing with flower pots.
50 km / 32 miles along rolling country roads with minimal traffic
Our day begins with a short minibus ride to visit the castle of Alcalá la Real following which we continue to our cycling departure point, close to the village Moclín perched above pinewoods with a ruined fortress. From here we wind our way gently up and down through olive groves and pine trees, arriving at the reservoir of Cubillas where we stop for lunch at a fine restaurant with views on to the lake. Here, we can choose to continue cycling, or ride in the minibus to the hotel in Granada. For the cyclists we have a further 20 km/12 miles on the level, via Güevejar, with more intense traffic as we approach the city centre, where our hotel is located. Dinner in the city of Granada.
Granada is a romantic destiny. In the words of Alexandre Dumas written in 1846: “With the pretty name of Granada , you have already created a medieval city in your mind, half Christian, half Moorish”. But Washington Irving´s words define it more aptly: “It typified the oriental exoticism of the romantic vision of Spain”.
20 km / 12 miles rolling terrain
Our day starts with a visit to the Alhambra, after which we explore the city of Granada either on cycle, or on foot, taking in Albaicín, the original moorish quarter. Here we climb to the panomaric outlook point of San Nicolás affording us a magnificent view of the majestic Alhambra lit up by the soft rays of the setting sun – an unforgettable moment and maybe the best highlight of our cycling tour through Andalusia. After dinner in a tapas restaurant, we have the option of seeing a late flamenco show in one of the gypsy caves in Sacramonte.
City bike tour
Leaving the hotel in Granada we drive by minibus to Seville, the journey lasting about two hours. Here we have a light lunch at the hotel, followed by a city cycling tour. This will be the end of our cycling activities.
After breakfast, you will check out from the hotel. See you hopefully soon!
You may opt for a 2,5h train ride from Seville to Madrid.
In Madrid you may want to opt for our best rated city bike tour. If you are keen on biking more in and around nature and monuments, you may opt for one of our Parks and River or Madrid’s Surroundings tour (for example to the splendid palace of Aranjuez and to the wine region of Chinchón) all of them half- or one full day- excursions.
If you want to, we can arrange for and extended stay in Seville or in Cádiz. Cádiz is surrounded by dune-beaches like Barbate or Trafalgar. The region is famous for the Xerez Sherry wine.
