Early Morning Magic
Picture yourself setting off in the morning. As the first rays kiss the peaks of the Sierra de Grazalema, you glide along narrow tarmac ribbons, your tires whispering secrets to the quiet countryside. These are golden moments when light dances across farmlands and terraced vineyards, waking up a region steeped in history and flavour.

Routes Crafted for All Levels
Whether you’re chasing KOMs or simply chasing views, Andalucía delivers:
- For the Spirited Rider: Conquer the serpentine switchbacks of Puerto Las Palomas. It’s a stunning climb that rewards you with panoramic views, where each hairpin reveals another breathtaking vista. Every turn whispers: “Worth it.”
- For the Leisure Explorer: Embrace gentle rolling hills as you coast through olive groves shadowed by centuries-old hamlets. Stop by a rural cortijo for a local orange or a café con leche mid-ride.
- An Authentic Experience: Your guide, a local enthusiast, will share tales—of how the Romans carved roads through these foothills, of Andalucian and cyclists who found these mountains both challenging and inspirational.

Culture & Community
Cycling here isn’t just about distance—it’s about connection. During your ride, pause in a village plaza and join locals sipping tinto de verano under orange trees. In Ronda, park your bike and wander its legendary new bridge—or settle at a café terrace, watching the gorge come alive.
Each ride brings it’s own reward. Summit, then descend through honey-coloured countryside back to base. Home comforts await: a spacious lounge, fully equipped kitchen or the warm embrace of a boutique hotel.
