Spain: Andalusia, Córdoba & Granada
While other bike tours merely touch the tourist centers of southern Spain, this comprehensive Andalusian cycling vacation takes you deep into the region’s heart. Starting in the sensual southern city of Seville, you’ll cycle into the ancient Moorish city of Córdoba, where we’ve found an authentic Andalusian villa for you to stay in—complete with carved wooden ceilings and a traditional Spanish courtyard. Our itinerary brings you through the famous Ruta Del Vino wine road, spinning past white-washed villages and stopping at an authentic, Andalusian cortijo for lunch with VBT’s local friends. After pedaling past medieval castles in Jaen, you’ll return home to your own ancient castle (now a Parador hotel) where you’ll discover the secrets of Andalusian cooking during a class with a local chef. As you cycle the Ruta de las Fortalezas and roll into Granada, you might even hear the haunting chords of a flamenco guitar calling your name.
Tour Highlights
- Embark on a guided tour of Córdoba featuring a visit to the amazing Mezquita.
- Ride through olive groves and vineyards along the Ruta del Vino Wine Road.
- Sangria!
- Spin downhill past castles, Roman ruins, and mountain villages toward enchanting Granada.
- Explore the Alhambra Palace—one of Spain’s biggest attractions and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Your vacation is about to begin! Spend your first night aloft and arrive ready for an unforgettable trip.
Start off your first day in Seville right by having a VBT representative greet you at the airport. A complimentary car service will whisk you to your centrally located hotel. From here, you are perfectly positioned to explore this charming city at your leisure.
After a delicious included breakfast at your hotel, you are free to explore on your own, using our included city information packet to guide your discoveries.
Included Meals: Breakfast
Continue your independent exploration of Seville. This afternoon, your local guide will meet you at the Casas de la Judería Sevilla and arrange transportation to Palma del Rio. The transportation departure time will be given to you upon your arrival in Seville. Enjoy the remainder of the day and evening at leisure, exploring the small town of Palma del Rio.
Your hotel in Palma del Rio is Monasterio de San Francisco. This former Franciscan monastery was built in 1492 on the orders of VII Señor de Palma. About 20 years ago, it was turned into a charming hotel that preserves the simplicity and tranquility of a monastery. The arrival of Europeans in America is part of the building’s history, since the Franciscan monks based here founded American missions, took their language and customs to the New World, planted the famous orange groves in California, and opened the Mission de Palma del Rio in San Diego. Columbus spent time here before setting out for his journey, as the monastery was a strategic and powerful center of learning and culture. The cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego owe their names to this region’s monasteries and holy places. Today, guests can drink orange juice (in season) from the garden’s 65 orange trees, some of which are five centuries old.
VBT provides you with city information that includes recommendations on what to see and do in Palma del Rio during your stay.

Trip #2 with VBT and once again the entire tour exceeded my expectations. The towns of Spain via bike were breathless. The leaders were knowledgeable, friendly, fun and organized. Loved by Trip #2 and plan to do more......
Spain: Under the Andalusian Sky
Fabulous trip! We truly enjoyed ourselves and the other people on the tour. We loved being there during Holy Week, too. The pre and post extensions were wonderful, we especially loved Rondo. All of the guides were terrific! Nico and Juan Carlos were fabulous as well. They both had a wonderful sense of humor and were very patient and helpful. We will highly recommend this tour to others and look forward to doing another tour in the future!
