Complete Flexibility

On our cycling holidays in Spain, we organise every day of riding based on your abilities, preferences and pace, ensuring you get the best cycling during your time with us in Ronda. We design every day's ride to suit all our guests.

A TYPICAL WEEK: Sunday – Arrival Day We will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel. Set up bikes and talk you through the weeks itinerary. You wll soon be ready ready for your first ride. Monday – Setenil de las Bodegas – Cave Houses Village Riding from the hotel on quiet roads and unsurfaced tracks to head over the hills to a Roman amphitheatre. From Acinipo we descend into a valley and ride into the hidden village of Setenil de las Bodegas where many of the houses and bars are set into the limestone rock of the gorge. A great introduction to riding in Spain. Tuesday – Grazalema Natural Park Enjoy spectacular views from the top of Las Palomas Pass (1357m) and a thrilling mountain descent to finish. You will cycle through the heart of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park and ride via the white villages of Grazalema and Zahara de la Sierra. Wednesday – Montejaque – Mountainside Village Riding from the hotel through the Rio Guadiaro and visit a popular local spot, the Cueva del Gato. Ride up to the remote village of Montejaque, nestled on the side of rugged mountains. We pass an abandoned dam and ride through cork Oak forest before a final descent back to the hotel. Thursday – Genal Valley – Hidden White & Blue Villages The Genal Valley is full of Chestnut trees and isolated white villages which you will ride through on this road ride.

A long descent into Ronda and then again down to the hotel gives an amazing finish to this ride. Friday – The Via Verde de la Sierra – Disused Railway Trail Start with a minibus transfer into the hilltop town of Olvera where the Via Verde de la Sierra starts.

Ride Options

 

Cycling in the Serrania de Ronda of southern Spain

Our leisure cycling rides make the most of the network of tracks and quiet roads which interconnect the white villages of the region. Riding on the many tracks offers virtually traffic-free riding along the less-travelled path and offers much more in the way of route options. If you prefer to stay on the roads, the courteous drivers and smooth tarmac will give you an unforgettable riding experience here in Ronda.

Our most popular cycling holidays are at a moderate level of difficulty and are suitable for leisure or regular cyclists with a reasonable level of general fitness, but do not need to be serious athletes. This type of week is ideal for cyclists who enjoy cycling in areas of outstanding natural beauty and who relish the challenge of ascents ranging between 250m and 900m. During your week, we can include any of the following types of rides.

Easy & Moderate Routes

Daily 25 to 40km with 200 to 500m ascent

The quiet country roads and tracks which wind between traditional white villages provide the most beautiful views. But this region is hilly and mountainous, so you should expect some hills every day. For riders who wish to take things fairly easily, we recommend our easiest rides, with shorter distances and minimal hills, whilst offering a fabulous chance to explore the beautiful countryside and villages of Spain.

 

Moderate & Challenging Routes

Daily 45 to 60km with 500 to 1100m ascent

For riders who like to ride further but still don't want to spend all day in the saddle. Varied scenery, varying degrees of ascent, long descents and plenty of opportunities for refreshment stops in white villages.

 

Route Navigation

For self-guided biking, we provide a GPS app for your phone, which works fully offline for each day's ride.

The app shows detailed maps, route profiles and turn‑by‑turn navigation. A quality phone holder is supplied with your bike.

 

Local Support

You’re never on your own. As soon as you arrive in Spain, we add you to a dedicated WhatsApp group, ensuring quick and effortless communication throughout your holiday. On day one, we walk you through everything you need to know, make sure your navigation app is set up correctly, and confirm you’re fully comfortable using it. Our team is based right here in Ronda, close to all the touring areas, so if anything unexpected comes up whilst out on the bikes, we’re nearby and ready to help.
