Cycle Andalucia in Southern Spain
Fully Supported Cycle Tour of Andalucia
From Seville to Valencia in 8 Days
Suitable for the 'Avid' Rider.
Riding a bike in warm and scenic Andalucia in Southern Spain should be experienced by every cyclist! This fantastic cycle tour in Andalucia is one that will challenge you physically, but reward you hugely for your efforts! The route is both inland and coastal with that feeling of each day being better than the one before. The route winds its way from Seville to the coastal city of Valencia. We pass through many National Parks including La Sierra de Grazalema with the amazing town of Ronda where we stop and stay after day one. We spend a night in the buzzing city of Granada before cycling the northern regions of the Sierra Nevada mountain range - famous for pro cycling training camps. You won't feel alone on two wheels! We enjoy an incredibly beautiful single climb day in the glorious and prestine Sierra Espuña range with a glorious descent and 26 flowing switchbacks! Our final push to Valencia takes us through La Serra de Mariola with its tree-lined slopes. Ride across plains and steep mountain passes with flowing descents for miles on end. Pedal through fertile valleys sprinkled with white-washed villages. Push yourself on long, quiet, smooth roads surrounded on all sides by green sloped mountains with flowing rivers. This unique cycle tour of Andalucia is for experienced road cyclists not afraid to work hard and who welcome climbing and descending each day.
