Cycle through the beautiful landscape between two of Andalucia's finest historic cities - Granada and Seville
Our journey begins in Granada, home to the romantic Alhambra Palace, and moves on through some of Spain's most impressive yet least-known landscapes. Following roads that for centuries echoed with the sound of Berber and Arab warlords, armies and tradesmen, this is a journey of discovery through a rolling landscape of whitewashed farmhouses, olive trees, citrus groves, rugged limestone gorges and dense forest parks. Ancient fortresses and decaying monasteries reveal the region's changing fortunes, and we continue across the stunning cliffs of Ronda and the Moorish citadel of Arcos de la Frontera to reach Spain's finest monument city - Seville. Its atmospheric tapas bars are the perfect place to reflect on a fine week's cycling.
