Itinerary
Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival - Ronda
Arrival day will consist of a briefing and free time. We'll set up a time to meet you, hand over the bicycles and all other necessary equipment and answer any questions you might have.
Day 2: Ronda to Olvera - 45km/27 miles
Ronda to Olvera is a beautiful 43 km ride connecting three special white villages: Ronda, Setenil de las Bodegas and Olvera. Each town contains unique examples of historic and local architecture, and when paired with the beautiful countryside of olive groves and oak forests, it makes for a special day on the saddle.
The route is mostly flat with a gradual ascent until you reach the halfway point, where you will then have a long descent into Setenil de la Bodegas. From Setenil, the route will undulate with some short uphill sections as you finish in Olvera.
The first half of the route is mostly unpaved tracks, and the second half will be mostly quiet, paved roads.
Total Ascending - 641m
Total Descending - 796m
Day 3: Vía Verde de la Sierra - 37 km/22 Miles
Your second day on the saddle will start with a short descent to the start of the Via Verde.
The Vía Verde de la Sierra is an impressive cycleway between the Sierra de Cadiz and the Sierra Sur de Sevilla, both foothills of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. Stretching from the town of Olvera to Puerto Serrano, it weaves around the mountains and follows the rivers Guadalete and Guardalporcún. You will be blessed with stunning landscapes that change as you ride along, gradually descending from start to finish.
The route was originally built as a railway line linking the towns of Almargen and Jerez, and its history as a train line is very evident as you pass through tunnels and bridges, and cycle by disused or repurposed stations.
Two-thirds along the route, you will find an old station that has been turned into a cafe, perfect for those who want to stop for a quick drink and rest. The route also boasts a vulture nesting site and information centre for those with an interest in wildlife, making for a pleasant stop along the way.
Once you finish the route, you will be transported back to Ronda for your final night.
This route is classified as an easy route due to its distance and climb profile. It is virtually downhill all the way, with a short climb within the last 3km.
The route is mostly unpaved cycle tracks, but after the first kilometre it is traffic-free.
Total Ascending - 78m
Total Descending - 550m
Day 4: Departure
*Additional days can be included with or without activities.
