      Day 1

      Welcome

      Upon arrival in Málaga, our pick-up will drive us to our rural hotel in Ronda located above a deep gorge that separates the city in half. The tour guide will organize an introductory briefing about the trip the same day followed by a safety briefing.

      Free day Ronda

      Start the day exploring Ronda’s famous sights such as the iconic bridge or the Plaza de Toros, the oldest bullring in Spain. Or take a side trip to one of the many vineyards, an excellent way to deepen your knowledge about local wines.

      The tour leader will organize dinner to celebrate the first day of the journey.

      Day 2

      Track 1 Mountain Range Sierra de las Nieves

      Off we go to the breathtaking Gaitanes Gorge, one of the most spectacular landscapes in the Malaga mountains where we stay the second night of the trip.

      We leave our hotel along meandering country roads, passing through the Ronda Mountain Range and the National Park Sierra de las Nieves, a 100 % stunning landscape. After a picnic lunch at a panoramic viewpoint, we continue toward our hotel nestled in the heart of the Natural Park.

      Day 3

      Track 2 Andalusia’s Countryside

      In the morning there is the optional walk “Caminito del Rey” for those who have pre-reserved the activity. The rest of the group has a relaxed morning or can be taken to the lake to swim.

      At midday, we drive the first kilometers with our backup vehicle to skip the steep part and to bring us back higher up where we start our second track. Today we cycle through Andalusia’s countryside, a mountainous and colorful landscape where Mediterranean crops alternate with pastureland.

      After the picnic lunch, we continue towards the village of Antequera with its historic rich center that claims to have the most churches per inhabitant in Spain. From Monasteries, palaces, and the Moorish fortress to prehistorical dolmens are some of the many places to see.

      Dinner

      Day 4

      Track 3 Mountainous Olive Groves

      Today is the only time we drive to our new starting point, a village built on the ruins of an old Moorish castle that tops a rocky outcrop overlooking the beautiful valley and lake below.

      The route takes us through the Olive Grove Landscapes of Andalusia in the Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park and Geopark. Spain has olive groves scattered over almost all the country. Still, their biggest concentration is in Andalusia, with locations where olive trees were used from when the Hispania Baetica region used to supply olive oil to the Roman capital at the very least.

      Our destination today is the village Priego de Córdoba in the heart of the Natural Park. Before dinner, we offer you the possibility to learn how to taste and appreciate olive oil through our senses through an olive oil master where you will discover the smell, aroma, and flavor of each sample of olive oil.

      Today we continue cycling through the beautiful landscapes of the Sierras Subbéticas mountains which take us into picturesque villages.

      After another outdoor picnic, we follow the traces of the old train track called “Vía Verde” that runs between olive trees and vineyards. These Green Roads across Spain have been recovered for cyclists and hikers

      The route of the old oil train leads us to our next accommodation, a traditional Andalusian farmhouse converted into a hotel.

      Day 6

      Track 5 The Caliphate and the Mozarabic Route

      On your last cycling day, we follow two historic routes that guide us to the city of Córdoba, our final destination. The Route of the Caliphate is the Andalusian Legacy that connects Cordoba and Granada, the capital cities of the Caliphate and Nasrid al-Andalus. It was one of the busiest paths of the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages because it was used by traders from all around the known world, who supplied and traded in these important population centers; it was also the route of knowledge, sciences, and arts.

      The other historic route is the Mozarabic Way to Santiago de Compostela. An ancient trail that pays tribute to all those Christians called Mozarabs who stayed in the territories of Al-Andalus. A journey that reminds us of that time when, despite being repressed, these Christians maintained their belief and devotion.

      The last part of the longest cycle track will reveal our destination of the journey with views of the city of Córdoba located in the Guadalquivir depression formed by the Guadalquivir River.

      Dinner

      The Tour leader will organize a dinner to celebrate our final destination.

      Day 7

      Free day Córdoba

      Explore the city’s history and culture known for its unique blend of Roman, Moorish, and Christian influences. The city was once a significant Roman settlement and later became the capital of the Islamic Emirate and then the Caliphate of Córdoba, under which it flourished as one of the largest and most advanced cities in the world during the Middle Ages.

      In the morning there is an optional tour of the Mosque of Córdoba for those who have pre-reserved the activity.

      The tour guide will organize a place to have dinner together to celebrate the last evening of the journey.

      Day 8

      Goodbye

      The journey ends after breakfast at our hotel. There will be a private airport transfer from the hotel to the airport in Málaga.
