A wonderful cycle round the beautiful region of Andalusia with a good variety of terrain resulting in a challenging but eminently achievable route, great overnight stops and stunning historical legacy.

A wonderful climate adds to the attraction!

The stunning Alhambra in Granada
Vibrant Malaga
Ronda with its famous bridge

Day 2

We exit Malaga to the west along the boulevard with fine views of the sea. Once out of town we head inland into the hills behind the seafront conurbation into some lovely unspoilt country dotted with white villages for which the region is known. It’s a fine ride with an exhilarating finish to famous Ronda, best known for its ancient bridge linking the two halves of the city and its bull ring. 69 miles / 107 km, 2200m ascent. (Breakfast included).

Day 5

It’s an undulating day today as we head south and through prime olive production area – you will see a sea of seemingly endless trees that produce a third of the world’s olive oil. Very quiet roads again but pacing is important as although there are no large climbs it is not flat. Our hotel has great character, in a market town and with a good restaurant. 60 miles / 95km / 1856m ascent. (Breakfast and dinner included).

Day 6

A slightly later start today and you are soon into very rural Spain – but don’t worry as your support team is never far away. After lunch a medium climb to a village with a great castle dominating the area then what has been described as ‘the best descent and views they ever done’ by some of our riders, with views of the Sierra Nevada in the distance. The run in to Granada is more urban but mostly on cycle tracks / lanes and tonight you will have the chance to visit the jaw-dropping Alhambra which is surely up there on any list of the world’s must-see sights. 68 miles / 110km / 1922m ascent. (Breakfast included).

Day 8

The last day back into Malaga heads back inland into the hills to avoid the busy and built up coastal strip and again pretty landscapes and villages abound. Shortly after lunch we drop down again to the coast and take the cycle friendly promenade back into Malaga where we can relax in this vibrant city, admire the superyachts and enjoy a final celebratory meal together. 68 miles / 110km / 2100m ascent. (Breakfast and dinner included).
