Planning & itinerary
12 - 19 September 2026
We begin by the sea, move into limestone hills and finish among the peaks of Grazalema. Each day brings a named climb, a beautiful road and plenty of time to enjoy coffee, food and the people riding with you.
Arrival, welcome & bike set-up.
We collect you at Málaga airport and settle into our boutique hotel in the old town. In the afternoon we take a gentle coastal ride to stretch our legs and enjoy the warm light of the south.
In the evening we explore Málaga’s historic centre together during our tapas tour, the perfect way to meet the group and ease into the week.
75 km | 1,400 m+
We start with a steady ascent toward Puerto del León, a local favourite with generous views across the Axarquía. The gradients are friendly and the conversation makes the climb flow.
After a relaxed descent through olive groves we return to Málaga for lunch and free time before dinner in the historic district.
80 km | 1,500 m+
A short morning transfer takes us to Villanueva de la Concepción where we climb into the limestone formations of El Torcal. It is a beautiful, other worldly place and a highlight of the week.
We continue toward a private olive oil estate for a tasting and late lunch. Afterwards we transfer to Ronda and settle into our hotel for two nights.
70 km | 1,200 m+
We roll out from Ronda to Setenil de las Bodegas where houses are carved into the rock. From there we climb Puerto del Viento at a smooth, social pace before returning across the famous Tajo bridge.
The evening brings a flamenco performance in a small local venue, a memorable moment with music, rhythm and shared atmosphere.
85 km | 1,800 m+
This is our signature day. We leave Ronda for Zahara de la Sierra, climb Puerto de las Palomas and ride through the peaks of the Sierra de Grazalema. The balcony views and turquoise reservoir make this a favourite among riders.
We return to Ronda for a relaxed evening and a well earned dinner.
65 km | 1,200 m+
We enjoy a gentler ride linking Algodonales and El Gastor back toward Zahara’s castle ramparts. This is a day for steady spinning, photos and long café stops.
After lunch we transfer to Grazalema village for our final mountain stay, a peaceful place with charming streets and warm hospitality.
60 to 80 km | 1,300 m+
We offer two route options today. One follows a social loop around the Pinsapar forest and Puerto del Boyar. The other adds an extra climb toward Las Palomas for one more look at the turquoise lake below.
We finish with a farewell dinner featuring local payoyo cheese and Andalusian wines, a relaxed moment to celebrate the week.
After breakfast we return to Málaga by private transfer. It is a gentle ending to a warm and friendly week of riding, food and shared stories.
Why Choose This Tour?
We ride the best climbs in Andalusia without chasing numbers. Puerto del León, El Torcal and Puerto de las Palomas all feel welcoming and rewarding, especially with our support crew and friendly group energy.
The focus is on enjoying the views, the cafés and the conversations that make a cycling holiday feel special.
Food and culture are part of the journey. Tapas in Málaga, olive oil tasting near Antequera and flamenco in Ronda all add flavour to the miles we ride together.
These moments connect us to the region and to each other, transforming the tour into a shared experience rather than a simple itinerary.
We keep our groups small so everyone feels included from day one. Our hotels are chosen for warmth and character rather than size.
By the end of the week you will have new friends, happy legs and a collection of photos that reflect what cycling holidays are truly about.
