Cycling holidays in inland Andalucia, southern Spain, take you on a journey steeped in tradition, offering dramatic unspoilt landscapes which are rich in historic legacy.
The locals have a relaxed temperament, their hearts are filled with the spirit of the fiesta, the rhythms of flamenco, and a certain sparkle in their eyes. This is the land of Lorca and Picasso, Seville Oranges and Olive Oil, hilltop villages and azure blue lakes, endless mazes of white streets and colourful patios, of Sherry and Serrano Jamon, of ancient bridges and Moorish architecture an Andalucia that many people do not know. An Andalucia renown for its easy going, sun filled outdoor lifestyle. All this in Andalucia is but a few kilometres from the Costa del Sol but a million miles away in the difference in experience you have from cycling through rural Spain on your holiday.
The asphalt is super smooth, the Spanish drivers are super considerate to cyclists and the more importantly the cafe and cake stops are plentiful and not too over crowded. You will be cycling through unspoilt rural Spain, on virtually deserted roads, it literally is a private playground for cyclists. Every 10-15km you will pass through another stunning ‘pueblo blanco’ (white village) these villages are synonymous with Andalucia, the white washed walls are filled with colourful flowers and topped off with a perfect blue sky.
Your cycling holiday in Spain is a journey to discover the undiscovered, to ride the roads less travelled and experience the culture, cuisine close up and personal. You can completely disconnect from the modern day stresses and strains of daily life whilst immersing yourself into a slower pace of life that belongs to a time not too long ago.
As you turn the pedals the stunning views roll on by, there is literally an idyllic photo to be taken at every corner, only bird song with break the tranquillity of your ride, you will see and smell the unique flower and fauna of Andalucia. After a fantastic day in the saddle there are plenty of local wines and tapas too refuel you for the next day on the bike.
Your cycling holiday in Spain is good for the body, mind and soul. You are guaranteed to return home stronger, recharged and probably a few kilos heavier with a new love in your heart for Andalucia, it’s pace of life, people, culture and cuisine.
