Andalucía

Cycling in Andalucía: Olive orchards of Al-Andalus

S-Cape Travel is a European travel operator providing walking, cycling, driving and family tours in France, Italy, and Spain. Our tours include gourmet food, deluxe lodging, and destinations of great beauty as well as cultural interest. We offer cycling trips to such fascinating destinations in Europe, as Tuscany, the Connemara, Mallorca and Andalucía. France biking tour options include Provence, Burgundy, Bordeaux, and the Loire.

Our 'Ruta de los Olivos' will take you through an almost unknown region north of Malaga, between the famous historical cities of Córdoba and Granada. Daily tours of 26km to 57km through a sea of olive trees and Mediterranean woods on the slopes of the Sierra Subbetica range. Soft grey-green trees and red-ochre earth tones, punctuated by white villages in Moorish style. All deadly calm during 'siesta' hours yet lively in the evening when villagers emerge to enjoy the coolness outdoors.

Trip Highlights:

authentic Andalucía, white villages scattered across a softly undulating grey-green sea of olive orchards
charming hotels in typical Andalusian style and one luxurious 4-star accommodation
swimming pool available for four days of the trip
optional visits to Granada and Córdoba using public transport while you leave your bicycle safely parked at the hotel
