      Day 1

      Welcome

      Upon arrival either in Málaga or Granada, our pick-up will drive us to our hotel in Granada.

      Free day Granada

      A city with history located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The cultural riches of Granada with influences from the Moors, Catholics, and Jews make this city in Spain into an important cultural center with Moorish rule spanning 800 years of occupation.

      In the afternoon there is the optional guided tour of Alhambra and the gardens of the Generalife for those who have pre-reserved the activity.

      The rest of the day you are free to explore more beautiful places and to try the Granada tapas which are known for serving free tapas with every drink.

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

      Day 2

      Track 1 In search of cave dwellings

      Upon arrival, our pick-up will drive us to the starting point of the trip near the city of Granada. An introductory briefing about the trip will be given by the tour leader followed by a safety and bicycle technical briefing. After the briefing, you will have the time to try out your bicycles and make minor adjustments to ensure comfort.

      After breakfast, our pick-up will drive us to the starting point of the first cycle ride in search of the cave dwellings located northeast of Granada.

      We start to pedal through the mountainous landscape, a route of tranquility and beauty of great historical-cultural and natural interest belonging to the territory of the Granada Geopark declared UNESCO Global Geopark.

      After passing several villages, the road leads us to the old town of Guadix showing an important heritage of monuments, with the medieval Arab Citadel, the Cathedral, and various Mudejar-style buildings. The most characteristic feature is that many of the inhabitants of this large town live in cave houses.

      After a visit to the cave houses, we cycle to our cave hotel where we stay the second night.

      Day 3

      Track 2 First Route Alpujarras

      A route through a beautiful region of white mountain villages nestled between the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada and the Mediterranean Sea.

      The Alpujarra is an area where time seems to stand still. It is the last redoubt of the Moriscos from Granada showing the symbiosis between man and the environment reached by the Moorish culture of Al-Andalus.

      We start the day by driving to “Puerto de la Ragua”, a mountain pass at an elevation of 2.000 meters, located on the boundary of Granada and Almería provinces. The route passes through picturesque villages with stunning views over the valley and its terraced farms. On clear days, it’s possible to see the Mediterranean Sea and even Africa.

      Along the way, there is time to stop and explore some of the rustic villages having a very distinct architecture as a result of the Berber occupation: flat-roofed, box-shaped white houses with tall round chimneys, clustered along narrow, winding, and steep streets, clinging to the mountains of the Sierra Nevada.

      Our next hotel is a “cortijada”, a traditional group of homesteads and farm buildings, that has been transformed into a hotel.

      Day 4

      Track 3 Second Route Alpujarras

      After breakfast, we drive back to the higher part of the Alpujarras to continue the journey with our first destination the village Trevélez, one of the highest villages in Spain located at 1.480 meters in the Trevélez Gorge. It is well known for ham drying in a traditional way, which has its own Denomination of Origin for its quality and great flavor.

      There is an optional ham tour for those who have pre-reserved the activity.

      Then we keep cycling towards the village Capileira, at 1.435 meters, the highest of the three villages in the Poquiera Gorge, one of the most beautiful places in the Alpujarras. A truly great experience to stay the night with the breathtaking landscapes of the southern slopes of Sierra Nevada.

      Day 5

      Track 4 From Mountains to Coastline

      A ride through the beautiful Lecrín Valley, a mixture of pine forest and cultivated land, towards the Tropical Coast of Granada.

      We leave the Alpujarras behind us and drive to the highest village of the Lecrín Valley where we stay the last night of the tour.

      There is an optional Olive oil tour in the morning for those who have pre-reserved the activity.

      Our last cycle day takes us through the Lecrín Valley, an area of rolling hills, ravines, rugged cliffs, and rivers covered with cultivated citrus and orange groves, almond trees, and olive oil plantations.

      We go towards the viewpoint where the Mediterranean Sea comes into view with our destination the village of Salobreña.

      Next, after enjoying a swim and a drink, we will head back to our rural hotel where we will celebrate our last evening of the cycle journey.
