7 Day Guided Motorcycle Tour through the best of Andalusia, Spain
Malaga
Fantastic Motorcycle Tour in Andalusia
This listing has one of the 10 most popular offers available in Spain
Andalucía is, without doubt, one of the best destinations for a motorcycle tour in Europe. This road trip has everything: ancient sites, grand arid scenery, terrific regional food and the characteristic music of the region - flamenco. There is almost too much to see: the hilltop - pueblo blanco (white town) - Ronda, with its handsome bullring and spectacular bridge over the gorge that famously separates the two halves of the community; Seville, with its 16th century Gothic cathedral together with the surviving Islamic minaret, the Giralda, and also the Alcázar, a 14th-century Moorish palace; Córdoba, with its unique Mesquita, and finally the Alhambra in Granada - the extraordinary 14th century Moorish palace and gardens.
As well as all this, the road itself is spectacular. The route winds into the hills towards Ronda and on to Seville, the dusty semi-desert scenery remains beautiful and unforgettable, also some section of Mediterranean Coast roads.

Today, you will start from San José, a small coastal town, leaving behind the beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea. As you enter the mountains, the landscape changes radically. On route to Sierra Nevada Park, you will enjoy its high-quality asphalt roads.
You will continue on this route to your next destination, Granada, where you can visit its old center on foot and you will have tapas for dinner.
Day 4: Granada to Cordoba (270 kilometers / 168 miles)
You will leave the magical city of Granada to return to the mountain curves and the fantastic landscapes offered by the Cazorla National Park, a paradise for motorcycling. On the way to Cordoba, you will stop along the Iznajar swamp to enjoy its views, and at the majestic Úbeda to see its beautiful monuments. Upon arrival in Cordoba, you will have time for a pleasant walk and then, stop for dinner.
Day 5: Cordoba to Seville (242 kilometers / 150 miles)
Following the course of the Guadalquivir River, you will leave Córdoba behind as you approach your next destination, Seville. You will pass through the Natural Park of the Sierra Norte, where nature is mixed with the remains of the fortifications in the well-known Route of the Arabian Castles. You will stop to eat in a cortijo in Osuna, a village located 80 kilometers (50 miles) from the Sevillana capital. After a short walk, you will continue on to Seville.

Today's route runs through the heart of the White Villages of Malaga, towns like Bornos or Prado del Rey, with their unique charm that you will spend everything in a privileged natural environment. You will end the day in Ronda, an architectural and landscape jewel that will surprise the traveler. Do not forget to have your camera at hand.
Day 7: Ronda to Malaga (252 kilometers / 157 miles)
Leaving Ronda, you will continue along the incredible roads that surround its mountain range. After several climbs and descents crossing small villages lost in the Sierra, you will arrive at Setenil de las Bodegas, which you will visit to appreciate places as magnificent as its square or the Barranco.
