Whitewashed villages, the smell of orange blossom on a gravel descent, a cold cerveza at the end of a long day in the saddle… Andalucía has a way of making everything feel a little more alive! Come join us for 5 days of guided gravel riding through the Sierra Morena, the wild mountain range that stretches across the north of Andalucía and sees almost no tourists at all. The terrain is varied and incredibly rewarding, the culture is everywhere, and the food alone could justify the flight. A local guide who knows every trail, a small group, and every last detail taken care of. All you have to do is show up—and maybe brush up on your Spanish for the tapas order.

Sevilla to Córdoba, stage by stage: While most people take the highway between these two cities, we enjoy five days of stunning cycling to get there
The food, the culture, the whole thing: Tapas stops, a night in a restored monastery, and local food that make you want to skip the early bedtime… This is both a bike & cultural experience

Cycling in Spain sounds like your kind of thing? Let's go on a 5-day guided gravel bike tour through the wild and sun-drenched landscapes of Andalusia, riding point to point from Seville to Córdoba through the heart of the Sierra Morena. Designed for active cyclists who want to discover southern Spain beyond the obvious, with all logistics, meals, and accommodation fully handled. Nights are spent in carefully chosen spots—a private nature estate, a family-run mountain hotel, a restored monastery, and a countryside finca—and a certified guide and mechanic ride with the group from start to finish.

Day 1: First Andalusian pedal strokes

A pick-up is scheduled at noon at Seville train station or airport, from where we head to our basecamp—Dehesa Don Pedro, a stunning private estate set in the Andalusian countryside. After a welcoming lunch and introductions, we hop on the bikes for a first taste of the terrain: a scenic descent to the village of Santa María de Nava along a canyon-like road, then gravel tracks winding between oak groves and cattle farms. We return to the estate as the sun gets low, and settle in for a first dinner under the Andalusian sky.

Meals: Lunch, dinner
Cycling: 33 km (21 mi)
Elevation: +650 m (+2,133 ft)
Accommodation: Dehesa Don Pedro, private nature estate

Day 2: Crossing the Sierra Morena

A hearty breakfast and then we’re off—today is the big one into the mountains. We cross the Sierra Morena with a first stop in Puebla del Maestre before diving into the heart of the range via a remote desert track that feels like a different world. Lunch and a visit at the Ermita del Ara, a hidden chapel nestled in the hills, break up the afternoon. We finish in the mountain village of Cazalla de la Sierra, famous for its vineyards and eucalyptus forests, settling in at Posada del Moro—a cosy family-run hotel where the food is as good as the setting.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Cycling: 79 km (49 mi)
Elevation: +1,080 m (+3,543 ft)
Accommodation: Posada del Moro, family-run hotel, Cazalla de la Sierra

Day 3: From forest trails to orange groves

We head east through eucalyptus forests toward Constantina and its hilltop castle, following a 100% gravel route deep in nature. The ride alternates between quiet country roads and wide gravel tracks—occasionally technical, always rewarding. Then the landscape opens up entirely, and we swap forests for endless orange and olive groves stretching to the horizon. We end the day in Palma del Río at a beautifully restored former monastery, with a pool waiting and a cold drink very much deserved.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Cycling: 76 km (47 mi)
Elevation: +770 m (+2,526 ft)
Accommodation: Restored monastery, Palma del Río

Day 4: From the valley to the mountains, heading to Córdoba

The longest day, and one of the best. We ride through citrus groves toward Hornachuelos, a picturesque hilltop town, then continue to the La Breña reservoir with its dramatic natural surroundings. In the afternoon we join the GR48 trail, winding through rugged hills past traditional bull-breeding farms—as rural and authentic as Andalusia gets. We roll into Córdoba and spend the night at Finca Los Abetos, a peaceful hideaway on the edge of the city.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Cycling: 85 km (53 mi)
Elevation: +1,180 m (+3,871 ft)
Accommodation: Finca Los Abetos, Córdoba

Day 5: Final ride around Córdoba

A relaxed final loop around Córdoba—22 km to savour the last of the Andalusian sun and let the week sink in. We stop for coffee at the Mezquita, one of the most extraordinary buildings in Spain, then ride along the Guadalquivir River toward the transfer back to Seville. Arrival at Seville train station or airport by 5 pm. A beautiful adventure comes to a close—the memories, though, are here to stay.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch
Cycling: 22 km (13.7 mi)
Elevation: +320 m (+1,050 ft)

First time discovering gravel riding — and these guides — for my wife and me: a true revelation! The electric bikes were excellent, the breaks and routes perfectly planned, and the Andalusian landscapes stunning. Even as beginners, we felt like real adventurers.
