Andalusia by bicycle from Cordoba to Granada to Seville
This is the tour for any cyclist who wants to experience Spain´s most iconic region and cycle through breathtaking scenery.
Following the route of the Caliphs, from Cordoba to Granada, this first part proposes an enticing adventure for the mind, linking the two most prominent cities of Spain´s Moorish occupation. If Cordoba had the grandeur then Granada had the finesse. On route, there are castles, corn fields, vineyards, huge olive groves, sun flowers, orchards. Arriving in Granada, we visit the Alhambra, a route that fascinated the senses of Washington Irving, the American writer and diplomat. Seville, the Andalusian capital, is unique in its ability to evoke a diversity of sensations and the essence of the Andalusian spirit.
Our route includes the path of a disused railway perfectly adapted for cycling, minor country roads and pathways. Our accommodation is of the best quality; four star hotels in the main cities and smaller hotels with a special charm in some villages.
We will savor the Andalusian cuisine that offers us traditional dishes accompanied by excellent wines. The mini bus will transport us to the starting point of each of the tour stages, and we will be bicycling for the most interesting parts of our route. Each stage of the tour may be adapted to the groups overall bicycling skills.
Few cycling experiences can match the combination of the Andalusian sun, its delicious food and fine wines, visiting monumental Cordoba and Granada and other jewels of the Jewish, Arabic and Christian culture.
