Almería to Seville Road Cycling Challenge

Spanning the dramatic El Tajo Gorge, Puente Nuevo stands as Ronda's architectural marvel. Completed in 1793 after 34 years of meticulous construction, this 66-meter-long stone bridge connects the city's old and new quarters. Its central arch, towering 105 meters above the Guadalevín River, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Andalusian countryside. A chamber above the arch, once used as a prison during the Spanish Civil War, now houses an exhibition.

At 3,398 meters, Pico Veleta features the highest paved road in Europe, offering one of the most rewarding cycling routes from Granada into the heart of the Sierra Nevada. The climb showcases dramatic mountain landscapes, from lush forests at lower elevations to rugged alpine terrain near the summit. While the final stretch is steep and challenging, it’s accessible to experienced cyclists and hikers, rewarding them with panoramic views of surrounding peaks and the city of Granada below. 

El Torcal de Antequera presents one of Europe's most striking karst landscapes. Located in the Sierra del Torcal mountain range, this natural park is renowned for its surreal limestone formations, sculpted over millions of years by wind and water. Visitors can explore a network of trails winding through towering rock spires and labyrinthine passages. Designated a Natural Park in 1978, El Torcal is a geological wonder that offers a glimpse into Earth's ancient past.

Perched atop a limestone ridge, Arcos de la Frontera is a picturesque town that embodies Andalusia's rich history. Its name, meaning "Arches of the Frontier," reflects its strategic position guarding the border between Christian and Muslim territories during medieval times. The town's whitewashed buildings, narrow cobblestone streets, and Moorish architecture create a timeless atmosphere. Notably, the Church of Santa María de la Asunción, built on the site of a former mosque, showcases the blend of Christian and Islamic influences.

Seville, the vibrant capital of Andalusia, is a city where history and culture intertwine seamlessly. The Seville Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, houses the tomb of Christopher Columbus. Other highlights include the stunning Plaza de España, with its sweeping semi-circular façade and intricate tilework, and the towering Giralda, a minaret-turned-bell tower offering panoramic city views. 

The Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is Granada’s crown jewel and a masterpiece of Moorish architecture. Originally a fortress and later a royal palace, the Alhambra features intricately carved stucco walls, serene courtyards, and beautifully landscaped gardens, with breathtaking views of the city and the Sierra Nevada mountains beyond. 

The Royal Chapel of Granada is a magnificent symbol of Spain’s Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella. Located next to Granada Cathedral, this Renaissance-Gothic masterpiece houses the tombs of the monarchs, featuring elaborately sculpted effigies and ornate chapels. Its interior dazzles with intricate altarpieces, gilded woodwork, and a solemn yet majestic atmosphere that reflects Granada’s pivotal role in Spanish history.
