Cycle back in time to discover Moorish history, classic Spanish mountain-scapes and one of the prettiest villages in Andalucia. A loop cycle within Andalucia to uncover an oasis of green where the classic Spanish mountain scenery of picturesque whitewashed villages nestled into the local hillsides will not fail to impress. The Sierra de Grazalema offers ideal cycling conditions with gently rolling hills. Discover a landscape of marvellous limestone sculptures, marked by deep gorges where vultures nest among the cliff tops. At lunchtime, replenish your energy with a round of tapas enjoyed on an outdoor terrace, then continue through the unspoilt countryside painted in earth tones, punctuated by brilliant white buildings set against the soft grey-green of olive orchards, cork oak woods and Spanish silver firs. In the midst of these exquisite natural surroundings, you'll encounter 'pueblos blancos' with exotic Moorish names like Benaocaz and Jimera del Ibar, which recall centuries of disputed borders between Arab and Christian kingdoms. At the end of the week, you return to Ronda, one of the prettiest towns in Andalucia and indeed in all of Spain, with its intriguing mix of Moorish and European monuments.
