Overview

Cycling in Sierra de Grazalema will let you discover a pristine nature reserve, home to many endemic species, as well as the typical Andalusian Pueblos Blancos perched on scenic hilltops. The rolling hills of Andalucía provide ideal terrain for a cycling holiday, with all the pre-historic cave paintings, Moorish villages and Roman architecture that you will explore during this active itinerary. This is a circular route, starting and finishing at the town of Ronda, of which poet Rainer María Rilke wrote: I have searched everywhere for the city of dreams and have finally found it in Ronda . Holm and cork oaks and citrus trees adorn the countryside leading to the Sierra de Grazalema, where you will be able to enjoy varied cycling terrain, and on day 5, you will also have the chance to stop for a walk in the Natural Park.
