Top Places You’ll See
From natural wonders to authentic local culture, the route is packed with memorable sights—these are our absolute favorites.
El Burgo
El Burgo is a picturesque village nestled in the mountains of Málaga province, surrounded by lush olive groves, rivers, and dramatic cliffs. Its charming streets, whitewashed houses, and historic churches offer a taste of traditional Andalusian life. Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to the nearby natural areas for hiking, wildlife spotting, and photography, making El Burgo a serene yet captivating destination.
Puente Nuevo – Ronda
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.
Sierra de las Nieves
The Sierra de las Nieves is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, celebrated for its rugged mountains, deep gorges, and rich biodiversity. Ancient forests of Spanish firs, dramatic cliffs, and hidden rivers make it a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The reserve’s diverse wildlife and stunning vistas provide endless opportunities for exploration, from peaceful walks to challenging mountain adventures.
Setenil de las Bodegas
Setenil de las Bodegas is a striking town built into massive rock overhangs, where homes and streets are seamlessly integrated into the natural cliffs. The town’s unique architecture creates shaded streets, picturesque plazas, and a sense of living within the mountains themselves. Visitors can explore charming lanes, taste local Andalusian cuisine, and marvel at this remarkable blend of nature and human ingenuity.
Guadalhorce Valley
The Guadalhorce Valley stretches through the heart of Málaga province, offering fertile plains framed by rolling hills and dramatic mountain backdrops. The river Guadalhorce nurtures rich agricultural lands, olive groves, and picturesque villages, making the valley a haven for nature lovers and photographers alike. Scenic viewpoints along the river reveal charming towns, lush landscapes, and abundant wildlife, capturing the essence of Andalusian countryside beauty.
El Tajo Gorge
El Tajo Gorge is a dramatic chasm that splits the town of Ronda, with sheer cliffs dropping nearly 100 meters into the Guadalevín River below. The gorge is flanked by whitewashed buildings, historic bridges, and viewpoints that reveal the region’s geological grandeur. A walk along the cliff edges or across Puente Nuevo provides unforgettable vistas of the river, cliffs, and surrounding mountains.

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!
I found this place with a simple Google search, and I never could’ve expected the custom experience I received. They provided options to help my husband and I hone in on exactly what we wanted to do for our honeymoon. We had perfectly curated GPS-lead rides all across the country, they booked all of our hotels, and planned all of our transportation. Every place that we went was so beautiful. I’m so grateful that we found this company to help us plan our honeymoon, couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I was able to tailor a bike tour itinerary along the Adriatic coast that suited our group during the shoulder season. We added individual pre and post-trip activities which went smoothly. Our trip included stops in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. The trip planner, guide and support team were great.
I would highly recommend anyone doing this tour take the e-bike option. There were only 3 of us on our tour who completed this on regular bikes. Four others who started out on regular bikes swapped over to e-bikes after the first day. The climbs are long and steep. There is pretty much only up or down, not much flat or undulating road. It is doable, but very challenging. If you are on an e-bike then this also helps with the group staying together and no-one having to wait too long for others to catch up. The bikes were really good and had great gearing that was capable of handling the steeper climbs. When we booked we were unaware that we would be riding in a group of 20plus at all time. Thankfully our group had prior group riding experience but we did observe other large groups with less than desirable riding behaviours.Others in our group were extremely understanding and supportive. Our guide, David, was very adamant about staying safe on the road. He was flexible with the itinerary and made changes to suit the weather conditions and to ensure we got in as much riding as possible. He was vey knowledgeable about Croatian history and agriculture and taught us lots about the country he is so passionate about. Our captain, Tolma, was also amazing and along with his awesome crew, made our cruise an enjoyable experience.
