This bicycle tour takes you through some of Andalusia’s most stunning regions, following the route favored by the Arab Caliphates during the 11th and 12th centuries.

Given its location at the western end of the Mediterranean, it’s not surprising that so many cultures – Moorish, Visigothic, Roman and Greek – have crossed paths in the southernmost part of Spain. This bike tour in Andalusia follows the paths of the Caliphs – the chief civil and religious ruler of the Muslim faith, regarded as the successors of Muhammad – and of Washington Irving, most famous as the creator of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”, but who stayed in the Alhambra Palace while serving as the American ambassador to Spain in the 1840s.

Our bicycling routes include an old rail track perfectly adapted for pedaling on smaller country roads and paths. We stay in outstanding accommodation: four-star hotels in the bigger cities and smaller hotels with their own special charm in a few picturesque Andalusian villages. You will encounter olive groves, wineries, flamenco, Arab baths, white towns decked out with heaps of geraniums, castles and so much more!

This is a perfect cycling route to experience traditional Andalusian cuisine with excellent wines. We use our Bike Spain minibus for half of the journey to arrive at the starting points of each one of our stages. We’ll ride the most interesting parts of our journey and each day’s stages may be lengthened or shortened depending on the group’s cycling abilities.

Highlights

  • The Alhambra Palace – the jewel in the crown of Moorish architecture
  • The sweeping views of Córdoba province from the battlements of the Moorish castles in Luque and Zuhero
  • Andalusian gazpacho: the original power drink!
  • Discovering the narrow whitewashed streets of some of the prettiest towns of Córdoba and Granada
  • Magic nights of flamenco music and sangria

Gastronomy

Food in Andalucía is vibrant and diverse, influenced by its Mediterranean climate and Moorish heritage. The region is known for olive oil, gazpacho, fresh seafood, and tapas, with each province offering its own specialties—from salmorejo in Córdoba to pescaíto frito in the coastal towns.

Wines

Andalucía produces some of Spain’s most distinctive wines, shaped by its warm climate and varied landscapes. The region is best known for sherry (Jerez) from Cádiz, but also offers Montilla-Moriles wines near Córdoba, sweet Moscatel from Málaga, and emerging red and white wines from Ronda’s mountain vineyards.
