The White Village Tour Mini Break has been designed with a focus on two of our best-selling activities, our White Village Tour, a car and walking tour that visits some of Spain's most beautiful towns. Officially titled ‘Los Pueblos Más Bonitos de España’, these towns must meet strict cultural, historical and aesthetic criteria. Followed by a cycling experience on the Via Verde de la Sierra, one of Spain's most beautiful cycleways.
Our White Village Tour is a nature-focused journey into the heart of Andalucía’s White Villages, where the rare and majestic Pinsapo (Spanish fir) still thrives. This experience blends spectacular mountain landscapes with white village nature walks, focusing on the relationship between local communities and one of Spain’s most iconic native trees.
Our Via Verde de la Sierra cycling experience uses a beautiful, well-maintained cycleway suitable for all levels of cyclists. Not only are you blessed with stunning landscapes and picturesque bridges, but you also have the cool addition of 30 tunnels and 4 viaducts, providing a reminder of its history.
The opportunity to upgrade your accommodation is also available to make your stay in Ronda a little more special.

Day 3: White Village Tour
The White Village Tour on day 3 is a trip to visit some of Spain's most beautiful towns, Grazalema and Zahara de la Sierra. This activity gives you a chance to explore the town and learn about their relationship with the tree of Andalusia, the Pinsapo as this is a nature based tour and less historical.
Our journey begins with a scenic drive through the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, where you’ll pass through ancient cork oak forests and rugged mountain landscapes. Our first stop is Grazalema, a charming village known for its picturesque whitewashed houses and its central location in the Natural Park, and you will learn about how the local climate benefits the Pinsapo population.
Next, we continue our adventure, driving through Las Palomas Pass, where we’ll stop for breathtaking panoramic views.

The White Village Tour uses a vehicle to get from town to town, and the walking element around each town is about 2km in total. The streets are usually sloped and often cobbled, so appropriate shoes for walking are recommended.
