Discover Spain’s only bullring with a restaurant, offering a taste of local culture. Antequera is also home to impressive dolmens, ancient megalithic structures that have stood the test of time.

Leave Antequera and ride through rolling countryside and olive groves to the Peña de los Enamorados (Lovers’ Rock), steeped in a tragic love story. Continue to Iznájar, an Arab village perched above the blue waters of the Embalse de Iznájar reservoir. Afterward, cycle towards Rute, known for its donkey sanctuary and aniseed liqueur, and on to Lucena, the “Pearl of the Three Cultures.”

Next, explore the spectacular countryside on the Vía Verde cycle path, leading to Zuheros, a Moorish village with a 9th-century castle. After a morning ride to Córdoba, famous for its mosque, enjoy a city visit before a vehicle transfer to Zuheros. For those seeking more adventure, cycle through olive groves to Baena and along the Vía Verde back to Zuheros.

Next, explore Priego de Córdoba, famous for its medieval Muslim quarter and baroque churches. Continue to Montefrío, one of National Geographic’s most beautiful villages, then descend towards Granada, finishing with a visit to the Alhambra and the city’s historic sites.
