Holiday Information

A great option if you're looking to visit an unspoiled part of Europe. This cycling holiday in Spain takes you through the most stunning mountain scenery in western Andalucia. During the tour you'll find yourself cycling along quiet country roads and lanes which will lead you past limestone peaks and cork oak clad sierras, linking the traditional pueblos blancos (white villages) that this region of Spain is famous for.

This is a holiday of leisurely paced road cycling exploring exquisite countryside, Moorish history and fantastic food with lashings of Andaluz character. This rural corner of Andalucia is worlds apart from the busy Costas of the Mediterranean. Immersed in its history and proud of their traditions, you will see the ‘campesinos’ working the land and herding livestock to produce exquisite cheeses and cured meats, succulent fruits, olives and grapes to turn into sherries and wines.

Our cycling starts out from the hilltop village of Alcala de los Gazules, the route heading straight into Los Alcornacales, with rolling hills as far as the eye can see. The road climbs past the peak of Picacho before a long sweeping descent down the lush Hozgarganta river valley and the village of Jimena de la Frontera, crowned by it’s impressive castle. Ronda is next on the cycling hit list, with time for you to explore the beautifully preserved old town and Tajo gorge, with the next few days spent in the beauty of the Grazalema Natural Park and finally Arcos de la Frontera.

Holiday Feedback

Great relaxed atmosphere, a fabulous week!

A fabulous way to spend a week over the New Year period. The mountainous scenery was truly spectacular and the quiet roads offered some superb cycling, climbing and descents. We were lucky with the weather and it was better than I had expected with blue skies and sunshine. The guides were great and we particularly enjoyed the “very relaxed” manner in which the holiday was run; also fabulous lunches. Loved the coffee stops (and a G&T at the end of the ride).
