Join us on an exhilarating 5-day cycling adventure through the stunning Andalusian countryside, exploring Granada's picturesque landscapes and scaling Europe's highest road bike climb.
As you ride past the plains, you'll be amazed by the ever-changing scenery, with the names of pro riders like Valverde and Contador still visible on the road from recent races.
The tour will take you toward the wonderful roads in the countryside favored by local Granada cyclists. You will encounter olive and almond groves, beautiful blue lakes, and a climb through pine trees that are certain to win your heart over. You'll see the pro riders' names painted on the road from the Ruta del Sol and get a chance to ride on the same roads that locals and even the pros regularly train on.
The tour's final challenge is the Pico Veleta climb, where you'll get to experience the Sierra Nevada Mountains, a UNESCO Biosphere reserve, and a much-loved national park of Spain. You'll ride up to 2,500 meters, into the thin air of the mountains, and even higher if the weather permits. At 2,400 meters, we'll pass an altitude sports training complex regularly used by pro teams and triathletes. At the top, we'll reach Alto de Hoya, a stage finish of 2022's La Vuelta.
Throughout the tour, you'll be surrounded by stunning scenery, challenging climbs, and the thrill of cycling on the same routes as pro riders. You'll get to see Andalusia from a whole new perspective and create unforgettable memories.

Road Bikes
Best for: Paved routes, longer distances, and climbs
Our road bikes are lightweight, fast, and built for endurance. They typically feature carbon or high-quality aluminium frames, smooth gearing, and reliable components—often Shimano 105 or similar. Well-suited for long days in the saddle, they’re perfect for climbs, steady cruising, and covering serious distance on tarmac.
Trekking Bikes
Best for: Multi-day touring, relaxed pace, and varied surfaces
These high-quality trekking bikes are built for comfort over multiple days. They feature a relaxed riding position, smooth-rolling wheels, and often come with practical additions like an adjustable stem, rear rack, or mudguards. They're not necessarily built for speed, but more for enjoying the ride.
Touring E-Bikes
Best for: Comfortable trekking, touring, longer distances, and hilly routes
These pedal-assist electric bikes are designed to make riding easier and more enjoyable—especially on longer or hillier routes. They come with powerful mid-drive motors, long-lasting batteries, and comfortable riding geometry for smooth support across varied terrain. With intuitive controls and quality components, they’re a great choice for riders who want extra assistance without giving up the feel of a real ride.

Self-guided cycling through Andalucia was an amazing adventure! The detailed route notes guided me through dramatic landscapes, past olive groves, and into whitewashed villages like Ronda. I loved the flexibility to explore Granada’s Alhambra and other cultural highlights at my own pace. The accommodations were authentic and welcoming, and knowing my luggage was always waiting for me made it stress-free. The mix of scenic routes and cultural immersion made this trip unforgettable—I’d highly recommend it to independent cyclists!
My self-guided cycling holiday in Mallorca was the perfect way to experience this incredible island. The routes included stunning coastal roads, peaceful inland villages, and iconic climbs like Sa Calobra. The provided GPS and maps made navigating easy, and I appreciated the freedom to linger at scenic spots or enjoy a long lunch overlooking the sea. The accommodations were fantastic, and luggage transfers meant I could focus on the ride. This trip was everything I hoped for and more.

Cycling, accommodation and route was great. Some aspects of the tour organisation and general communication could have been better.
