Pueblos Blancos of Andalusia 8GS

3000 hours of sun every year and landscapes which couldn't be more diverse

We will start with Granada, the highlight of every Andalusian trip. We then explore the world-famous Moorish King’s castle Alhambra, which is nestled in the picturesque Sierra Nevada.

We travel on to Antequera, which developed into an important trading centre in the centuries after the Reconquista. Our hotel in Antequera welcomes us with luxury. In Ronda the Moorish past is brought to life: There we will visit the oldest bullfighting arena in the world, before the white villages of Andalusia and the natural beauty of the Grazalema lure us into physical activity on two wheels.

DAY 1: Arrival in Granada
Your adventure begins with our Welcome Briefing in the hotel at 4 pm where you can meet the group.
DAY 2: Granada - Antequera
We will leave the first cultural highlights behind us and take the train to Loja. With our bikes we will cycle along the scenic routes of Rio Guadalhorce to Antequera. Away from the big tourist streams, it is nestled between rocky hills. Nowhere in Spain can you find as many church towers as here.
DAY 3: Antequera - El Chorro
Let’s head south. One of the most impressive karst landscapes in Europe is the Plateau El Torcal, where the power of nature carved bizarre sculptures into the porous limestone. The interactive visitor center will introduce you to the geological origin, fauna and flora. Mirador Las Ventanillas is only few minutes away and offers impressive views on the Costa del Sol. We will cycle along 3 large reservoir lakes and through impressives gorges towards del Rey, where we will leave the canyon at El Chorro.
DAY 4: El Chorro - Ronda
Shortly after El Chorro, after a short climb, we reach Bobastro, the legendary castle that sits like an eagle's nest on the plateau of the Mesas de Villaverde. Here, from 850 A.D., Omar Ben Hafsun, a rebel leader, maintained his headquarters. Starting from Bobastro, he initiated an early attempt of the Reconquista, the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula by the Christians. We cycle a short distance along the Guadalhorce reservoir and then follow the Rio Turon to Burgos. Our destination is Ronda, the Moorish fortress, the shelter of smugglers and bandits, the place where bullfighting was invented - the highlight of every Andalusian trip.
DAY 5: Ronda
Today is a rest day, which does not mean that we do nothing. There is much to see and an interesting bike route, but of course you can also spend the day relaxing by the pool. We offer a small but very nice bike tour to Setenil de las Bodegas. And then, of course, we are in the highlight of every Andalusia vacation - Ronda. This is where the Spanish bullfight was invented. The bullring was inaugurated in 1785, is the oldest of its kind in all of Spain and can be visited.
DAY 6: Ronda - Grazalema
The white villages of Andalusia! Zahara de la Sierra – a picturesque village nestled on a mighty rock at the northern edge of the Sierra de Grazalema Nature Park. Above the village we can see the ruin of a Moorish castle. We will cycle across the Puerto de las Palomas, the pass of the pigeons, and reach the next white village. Grazalema, which is supposedly the most beautiful of them all.
DAY 7: Grazalema - Arcos de la Frontera
We will cycle through the Sierra de Grazalema on small roads to Ubrique. Small houses built of natural stones line the streets. It is time to relax with a cafe con leche. El Bosque is located at the gate of Sierra Grazalema National Park at the river Rio Majaceite, which is the southernmost trout fishing area of Europe and the ideal place for a delicious lunch. Today’s destination, picturesque Arco de la Frontera, is situated on a steep cliff, where Moorish arches span several of the narrow streets, forming the town’s unique character. Our accommodation for tonight is a hotel in the center of the old town.
DAY 8: Arcos de la Frontera - Jerez de la Frontera
Jerez de la Frontera is the city of sherry. Names like Sandeman and Tio Pepe are now world famous. You could spend a whole week here - the Moorish fortress from the 13th century, the Christian cathedral, the Andalusian court riding school, museums and tapas bars, sherry tastings and much more could be discovered. A visit to one of the sherry cellars rounds off our tour and tonight we will review this beautiful trip with a few tapas before we say goodbye to Andalusia.
DAY 9: Departure from Jerez de la Frontera
Let’s enjoy our final breakfast together and then set off on our journey homeward.
