Overview

Cycle the route of Vuelta legends as we tackle the best and most famous cycling roads that Southern Spain has to offer. From the dramatic landscapes of natural parklands around Málaga, Ronda, and Jaén to the classic cols that La Vuelta often ride (including the Pandera and "the wall" at Valdepeñas), we finish by ascending the highest paved road in Europe in the Sierra Nevada. A fantastic week of sunshine filled road cycling awaits for those aiming to challenge themselves on the famous Pro Climbs of Spain`s South. This is our local area where we ride! This tour should be on every cyclist's bucket list! A beautiful area of natural parks, we start with a warm up of one of the closest of climbs, the Puerto de Viento with its rocky nooks and sheep that jump around the rough pasture land here. Fly up the Caminito del Rey Vuelta Finish used in 2018 and pass by the El Chorro Gorge. This is a very nice day of riding in a very evocative landscape.
