Highlights
On this week-long cycling tour you will visit the “pueblos blancos” (white villages) of Andalucia in Southern Spain. Beginning in Ronda, you will ride through Benaoján, Montejaque, Grazalema, Zahara, Prado Del Rey, Olvera, Puerto Serrano, and Setenil de las Bodegas. Of special note, Ronda, Setenil and Olvera regularly appear on lists of “most scenic” or “most beautiful” villages in Spain. On this stay you will ride through the Grazalema Natural Park, a beautiful place with a variety of landscapes.
Your start in Ronda affords you the opportunity to visit a city rich in history, dating to the 6th century BC. The city sits on a sandstone plateau, two cliffs bisected by the El Tajo gorge.. The Puente Nuevo or “new bridge” spanning the gorge is an ideal spot to take in the views and snap a souvenir photo.
