overview

1 Week Cycling Tour in Andalucia, Spain.

14 Sept 2024, 08:00 CEST – 21 Sept 2024, 08:00 CEST
Pizarra, km 22, A-7054, 29560 Pizarra, Málaga, Spain

You will be taken from the coast near Malaga, winding your way through the orange groves, up and through the rolling hills covered in sun soaked olive trees.

​While passing through the many ancient sleepy towns and villages all with there own unique stunning view you will realise what a pleasure it is to find such places, many of which you may not have heard of. Andalucía is often referred to the fruit basket of Europe by many Spaniards.

​I along with my team, will guide you through many regions where I spent all my years living and training and you will see as I did, just how inspirational these places are.

​You leave each area with a sense that you will need to return as it feels like a postcard photo rather than reality.

Please note that destinations along the route may change due to the ability of the group.
