Biking Holiday in Andalusia

Your biking holiday begins in Antequera, in the heart of Andalusia. The small town with its white buildings and red tiled roofs is a great sight. Take your time to stroll through Antequera, discover the numerous churches and enjoy the Andalusian cuisine influenced by different cultures.

The first stage of your biking holiday in Andalusia takes you over rolling hills and through olive groves to Lucena. The town looks back on a history that has been shaped by many different cultures. At the end of the day, treat yourself to a wine from the nearby Montilla-Moriles wine-growing region. Salud!

You cycle past huge olive groves on an old railroad line through the province of Córdoba. In Cabra, you come across one of the oldest churches in Spain. You cycle along the foothills of the Sierras Subbéticas Geopark and enjoy magnificent views over the surrounding hills. The townscapes of Cabra and Doña Mencía all reflect the inhabitants' sense of tradition.

On lonely paths and often through pine forests, the stage takes you through a hilly landscape towards Sierra Morena. At the end of the stage, Córdoba awaits you with a veritable firework display of sights. The Mezquita, whose construction began in the 8th century, is legendary. Once a mosque, now a cathedral, it is one of the largest religious buildings in the world - very impressive!

You leave Córdoba on an old Roman road in the wide valley of the River Guadalquivir. Even from a distance, you can make out Écija, the city of towers. Numerous church towers characterize the image of the city, which boasts pretty baroque buildings. Today's destination on your cycling vacation in Andalusia is the small town of Palma del Río.

Today you cycle through the Campina de Sevilla, one of the most fertile regions in Andalusia. Rugged karst formations alternate with Mediterranean oak forests. Carmona is an exciting stage destination with interesting archaeological sites, a baroque old town and a well-preserved Moorish city wall. Thanks to the town's location on a ridge, you can almost enjoy a view of the entire Sierra Morena.

A short stage lies ahead of you today. On the gently undulating high plateau of the Alcores, former royal haciendas still characterize agriculture today. Flamenco is in the blood of the people here and is omnipresent. After dropping off your rental bikes in Brenes, take the train to another highlight of your cycling vacation - Seville, the capital of Andalusia. Stroll through the narrow streets of the old town, visit the medieval Alcázar royal palace and make yourself comfortable in a tapas bar.

After breakfast, your biking holiday in Andalusia comes to an end. We are happy to extend your stay in Antequera or Seville with an extra night.
