White Villages of Andalusia
This tour is an unforgettable journey in space and time, in constant touch with Andalusia’s landscapes and culture, with its diversity and spirit riding in reverse the route once taken by warrior monks of the north African desert along the frontier of the last surviving kingdom of Moorish al-Andalus: the kingdom of Granada.
Setting out from Granada and following a constant southwesterly direction you will ride through various mountainous regions, crossing age-old passes. These are the mountains of Almijara, Antequera, Líbar, Alcornocales, and finally Cabrito. You will finish in the romantic town of Ronda (7 days option), or in the wind capital of Spain: Tarifa (10 days option), with the mighty Atlantic Ocean at your feet.
Granada, the Alhambra and the city’s plain, the Alhama mountains, the picturesque Axarquía region, Antequera and its stunning Torcal mountain, the El Chorro gorge, Ronda mountains, Cortes Nature Reserve, Alcornocales mountains, magnificent views out to Africa from Tarifa… these are just some of the places, peoples and pleasures that you will discover as you ride the ancient trails of Andalusia. They all come together to form the backdrop for a unique experience.
