This incredible holiday in an unspoiled area of southern Spain will take you through the most stunning mountain scenery in Andalucia. During the tour you'll find yourself cycling along quiet country roads and lanes which will lead you past limestone peaks and cork oak clad sierras, linking the traditional pueblos blancos (white villages) that this region of Spain is famous for. This is a holiday for any road cyclist looking to explore exquisite countryside, Moorish history and fantastic food with lashings of Andaluz character. This rural corner of Andalucia is worlds apart from the busy costas of the Mediterranean. Immersed in its history and proud of their traditions, you will see the 'campesinos' working the land and herding livestock to produce exquisite cheeses and cured meats, succulent fruits, olives and grapes to turn into sherries and wines. Your cycling starts and finishes in Pizarra, located close to Malaga for easy access from the airport but quiet enough to enjoy great riding right from the get go. The route throughout the week winds through dozens of white villages with plenty of options for a cafe or lunch stop and beautiful riding through olive groves, wheat fields, cork and oak forests with rolling hills as far as the eye can see. This is a self-guided trip and your luggage will be transferred from place to place, leaving you free to enjoy the tour just carrying snacks and spares as though out on a day's ride.
