If you want to enjoy the food and wine of Andalusia, but like to keep things a little active, a cycling tour is a great way to go!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Southern Spain offers the quintessential Spanish experience. We have it all – white washed villages, energetic flamenco performances<\/a>, long warm summers, and of course, the food! Pedal through the countryside, learning about local wines and interesting delicacies along the way. Here are five great cycling tours in Andalusia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VBT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tour:<\/strong> Under the Andalusian Sky<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, VBT makes sure that your appetite is suitably satisfied whilst taking in the spectacular views. (Clearly, this is high on our list of priorities…) On this tour, you’ll spend leisurely lunches with local hosts, partake in wine and olive oil tastings<\/a>, and learn the secrets to preparing a regional specialty. This six-day trip takes you through the historically important and architecturally stunning cities of Seville, Cordoba, and Granada, but also makes sure you to experience the smaller villages and towns in-between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cycling Country<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tour: Enchanted Andalucia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tour cycles from Seville to Campi\u00f1a Cordobesa, a fertile region known for producing everything from peppers, artichokes, and olives, along the Ruta de Aceite<\/em> (olive oil route). Then, onwards to the Lake District area of the Malaga Province where an evening meal is enjoyed with sunset views. Cycle past the coastal mountains and high plateaus, full of fields of towering vine tomatoes. Finish the eight-day adventure in the city of Granada, famous for its Moorish Palace, the Alhambra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trek Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tour:<\/strong> Andalusia: Sun Drenched Sevilla to Historic Antequera<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This six-day trip goes from the fascinating city of Seville, through the valleys and hills of Ronda, onwards to Andalusia’s ‘Lake District’, finishing in Malaga. Along the way, you will sample innovative and traditional cuisine<\/a> prepared by top local chefs, experience tapas the Andalusian way, and taste local produce at a gourmet picnic. With its focus on local foods, we certainly like the sound of this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bike Spain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tou<\/strong>r: <\/strong>Andalusia and La Mancha Bike Tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seven-day bike tour has one important purpose in mind – to take you through southern Spain’s best vineyards. You will travel from the relatively unknown wine region of La Mancha to two different wine regions in sun-drenched Andalusia. Along the way, experience the varied terrain from the mountains to the valleys, the dramatic bridge, and gorge in the town of Ronda, and cycle through the land of Don Quixote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience Plus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tour: <\/strong>Cycling Andalucia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, we must mention Experience Plus. This is an 11-day cycling trip which takes you from Seville to Granada, passing through the\u00a0foothills of the Sierra Morena mountains and the historic city of Cordoba. You’ll cycle over the hills and through the olive groves – with a visit to olive mills, past the vineyards and visit a “cave” winery\u00a0only to\u00a0find yourself pedaling\u00a0past fields of asparagus and tobacco all the way to Granada.<\/p>\n\n\n \t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
