Traverse its beautiful and romantic countryside with several National Parks. Ride through orchards, olive groves, sunflower fields, and cork tree plantations, pedal on its most famous Vía Verde (Green Road) over former railroad viaducts and through tunnels, view the gorgeous peaks of the Sierra Nevada and other mountain ranges, and spend a night in a cave hotel in Guadix. See a Flamenco performance and acquaint yourself with the production of olive oil. Last but not least, try some of the best tapas in the country and local specialty drinks such as Sangria and Vino de Verano.

Join this 10-day tour for an unforgettable experience! You will see a country where Jews, Muslims, and Christians have lived together in relative peace and tolerance. This cohesion bore many fruits and architectural gems. You will experience a different way of life with the renowned Spanish siestas, laid back attitude, lively cities, tapas, and Spanish hospitality. You will experience the best of the Moorish and Christian culture, especially in architecture.

You should come well prepared for the trip and you should be an experienced rider. For full enjoyment of the trip, you should be ready to complete the 80-100 km / 50-65 mile cycling days comfortably on moderately hilly to hilly terrain. You should be able to complete several climbs on the route. While most of them are under 2.5 km (1.5 miles), there are some that are longer. You also need to know how to descend long and sometimes steep downhills and how to properly use your brakes!

The tour operator has tried to design the route along small, quiet, and picturesque roads with little car traffic and/or bike paths that enhance the sightseeing of the local areas. For the most part, road surfaces will be of good quality but there are a few short sections of patched road where you need to ride with increased care. Road bikes, as well as touring bikes and hybrids, are suitable for the tour.

After this tour, Spain may remain in your heart forever and you may want to return to this country that has so much to offer to its visitors again and again.
