Guided Cycling Experience
Easy to Moderate Route
Tour and Wine Tasting at Local Vineyard Included
Includes Return Transport to Ronda
This route includes an easy-to-moderate bike ride from Ronda into the surrounding countryside, taking in breathtaking views of mountains, olive groves and other typical aspects of the Andalusian "campo".
The route will differ depending on the local winemakers' availability. We usually try to book at BadMan Bodega in the valley below Ronda, and the route consists of gravel/unpaved roads and quiet paved roads.
Once we arrive at the bodega/vineyard, you will be guided through the history of wine in this region and the bodega by a specialist guide, who will also provide the wine tasting aspect of the experience.
When you have completed the tour and wine tasting, your transport by car back to Ronda will be waiting.

This is a guided bicycle ride with a qualified guide, followed by a vineyard tour and wine tasting with a local wine specialist.
The bicycles are standard bicycles, and e-bikes are not included.
Once you meet your guide at the pre-selected pick-up point, they will drive you to the start and set you up with all the equipment needed. Once ready, you will cycle roughly 18km from the Ronda fairground to a local vineyard.
Our first choice vineyard is BadMan Winery, but we have a selection if you have already toured the facility or they do not have availability.
Once you complete the experience, your guide will be ready to take you back to the meeting point.
Our van is a Ford Tourneo Courier with air con and 5 seats, including the driver. The three seats in the rear can be a little snug with 3 big people, so bear that in mind when booking for a group of 4 people.
A mixture of gravel/unpaved surfaces and quiet paved countryside roads.
The route is typically 18km (11 miles) but will vary slightly depending on the bodega chosen. The route has a couple of short and steep climbs and one gradual climb at the beginning. The route is mostly downhill.
Easy to Moderate
Any cycling excursion, easy or challenging, should still be treated the same in regards to preparation. For you all the difficult stuff like maintaining the bicycles and planning the routes have been done, so all you need to do is come prepared with suitable clothing for cycling (padded shorts are not necessary but recommended), hydrated and fuelled (have breakfast and drink water), bring suncream/sunscreen and most importantly expect to have an awesome day.
Our Focus Whistler 3.6 bikes are a reliable and comfortable hardtail mountain bike, perfect for both casual rides and those looking to explore trails around Ronda. With front suspension, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, and a lightweight aluminium frame, it handles everything from scenic countryside roads to light off-road adventures with ease. Quality Shimano components make it a smooth and confidence-inspiring choice for riders of all levels.
Customised routes and itineraries can be created, so we encourage you to contact us with any requests you may have. We can create customised itineraries including but not limited to: shorter/longer rides, different towns, different start and end points as well as multi-day tours from one base town.
