Andalusia Road Bike Tour
Join us on an adventure road bike tour to explore Andalusia and the White Villages. The roads leading to Ronda are smooth and challenging, and the breathtaking beauty around the city is simply captivating. Our adventure begins in Antequera, and we will soon set off to Ronda, a mountain-top town dramatically perched on a deep gorge (El Tajo).
We will spend each day riding in a different location around Ronda, on a walking exploration of the Natural Parks of Sierra de las Nieves and Sierra Grazalema, and visiting the White Towns of Andalusia. This will give you a glimpse into the people’s traditions and way of life. The mountain pass of Las Palomas is one of the most sought-after roads on the tour. It is tough but offers the most spectacular view. Finally, we will conclude our adventure in Malaga, where you can relax and enjoy the laid-back beach life.

DAY 2
Antequera to El Chorro
All the way to The Caminito del Rey.
Your first day on the bike sets the tone for the entire road cycling adventure. A tough 700-meter ascent through El Torcal de Antequera Natural Park is your initiation, sharp gradients and winding mountain roads will push you from the start.
The reward? A sweeping descent through mountain villages like Villanueva de la Concepción and Valle de Abdalajís. But the day’s not over, after reaching El Chorro, challenge yourself further with a walk on the dramatic Caminito del Rey, a suspended trail through cliffs and canyons.

DAY 3
El Chorro to Ronda
The beautiful scenery of the reservoirs and Sierra de las Nieves.
This stage of your road bike tour brings longer climbs, exposed roads, and relentless elevation. After circling two spectacular reservoirs, prepare for the steep approach to El Burgo, followed by a rugged climb into Sierra de las Nieves.
Endurance, focus, and grit will be essential to reach the clifftop town of Ronda, where you’ll settle for the next few days. You’re now deep in Andalusia, where every road tests your limits.

DAY 4
Ronda Loop to Pueblo Pitufo
The surprisingly Blue Town.
This stage is a true test of your climbing legs. With four major ascents and over 680 meters of elevation gain, today is not about speed, it’s about stamina and determination.
The hills come one after another, surrounded by green valleys and rugged terrain. And then, a surprise: Júzcar, the Smurf Village, painted blue from top to bottom. It’s a quirky reward after a demanding ride, proof that every challenge has its moment of fun.

DAY 5
Ronda Loop to Setenil de las Bodegas
The White Towns of Andalusia.
It is a pleasure to be able to explore Sierra Grazalema National Park once again. It’s the perfect opportunity to see more of the typical white villages of Andalusia while riding through the forest and mountainous terrain. Right after your first big hill, you will find the beautiful Zahara-El Gastor Reservoir that holds fresh water and changes our scenery for a while until more villages come along. In Olvera there is the opportunity to visit the old castle and, to the end, just before the uphill that takes us back to Ronda, we have the municipality of Setenil de las Bodegas, famous for having building their white houses below the enormous rocks and walls of the mountain. Amazing sites to see!

DAY 6
Ronda Loop to Grazalema & Las Palomas
A road to remember…
Your final day based in Ronda is also one of the most demanding and unforgettable. Today, you tackle one of southern Spain’s most iconic climbs: the Las Palomas Pass. With an 800-meter ascent and relentless gradients, this segment defines the spirit of the road cycling adventure, testing your endurance and rewarding you with breathtaking mountain vistas.
The descent is fast and fluid, a well-earned payoff after a punishing climb. Back in Ronda, take time to explore what you haven’t yet, because this city deserves every moment off the saddle too.

DAY 7
Ronda to Málaga
Málaga here we go!
The last day of this road cycling tour brings a final stretch of mountain riding before dropping toward the Mediterranean. The day starts strong, navigating climbs through the Sierra de las Nieves and descending into the historic town of Coín.
From here, it’s smoother and faster, a rewarding contrast after the week’s intense efforts. The feeling of arriving in Málaga, with your legs sore and your spirit lifted, is unbeatable. Cool off by the sea and celebrate the end of a true active holiday for cyclists who love to push limits.
