Hike + Bike The Sierras

Ride on fabulous mountain roads to visit some of the most attractive hilltop white villages of the region - Ronda, Montejaque, Grazalema, Zahara de la Sierra, Olvera and Setenil de las Bodegas.

On this road cycling tour, you can expect to exercise your legs and lungs whilst immersing yourself in the local culture and scenery.

The riding is at a moderate level, with daily distances of around 40km over 4 days. Whilst there are hills to tackle every day, this is a perfectly doable road cycling tour for the enthusiastic cyclist who is neither mountain-fit nor wants to spend hours in the saddle over many days. This tour combines cycling on smooth, twisting mountain roads through stunning landscapes with attractive village locations for your overnight stays.

Stunning views, quiet roads and delicious local produce offer something special on every day of this week-long self-guided cycle tour, giving you a delightful picture of rural Andalucian life.

Our Andalucian cycling tour routes always take the less-travelled path. We avoid the easy-to-find roads in favour of more scenic, lesser-known minor roads and country tracks, to give you a truly unique experience of the real Spain.

You will cycle through 3 Andalucian provinces – Malaga, Sevilla and Cadiz - and pass through the heart of the protected area of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. You will enjoy a variety of mountain, valley, river and forest landscapes and see a different character and unique feel of many small white villages. This “High Road” tour includes two challenging and spectacular climbs through the high passes of “Puerto de Las Palomas” and “Puerto del Boyar”, so you can experience the full beauty and drama of the Sierra de Grazalema mountains.
