Itinerary
Day 1:
Arrival in Granada. Depending on your arrival time you will be able try some typical “vino & tapas” and wander in the old silk market or the ancient Moorish Albayzin neighbourhood
Day 2:
Leaving Granada, you cycle over gentle undulating terrain and through small villages to Alhama, once a very important town in the Nasrid Kingdom, now famous for its thermal baths. You can have a bath in “El baño de la Reina” (Queens’ bath) 39 miles
Day 3:
Cycle to the “Boquete (gap) de Zafarraya”, a strange hole in the otherwise impenetrable mountains. You are now in the Axarquía region, with views of undulating hills and mountains south towards the Mediterranean. Follow a disused railway line in continuous descent to the town of Periana, and from there you continue climbing through the mountains with beautiful views of the villages to Colmenar. 33 miles
Day 4:
Today you cycle up and down through the Axarquia and its villages. A good climb (off-road) brings you close to the El Torcal Nature Reserve with its limestone mountains. Then you head down fast to the ancient town of Antequera, enjoying beautiful views of its whitewashed houses. 21 miles
Day 5:
In the morning you have some time to visit Antequera: the castle, the dolmens (megalithic tombs) etc. Afterwards you cycle over smooth hillocks through oak and olive groves to El Chorro, a beautiful spot next to a lake, surrounded by mountains. 20 miles
Day 6:
Today you start with a beautiful ride through a strange, lunar landscape to the villages of Ardales and El Burgo. Then you have to climb to the Puerto de los Vientos (Mountain pass of the Winds, 1190m), crossing the beautiful Sierra de las Nieves Nature Reserve. A long descent will bring you finally to the lively town of Ronda. 38 miles
