First, I’d like to say thank you for the wonderful trip that we had a month ago. It was a dream vacation that I really enjoyed and I’m still replicating our Andalusian breakfasts here, as they were a delicious and relatively healthy way to start the day! My family of three did a self-guided tour through Andalusia over March Break. The Bike Spain Tour team was amazing, arranging our bike rentals, including procuring a smaller road bike for my 9-year-old. We loved it, and will definitely be considering doing another tour with Bike Spain. Maybe not next year, but the year after. Five star rating all around!
★★★★★
We have cycled with Bike Spain before and consider you to be an excellent tour company that works very hard to ensure the clients have a wonderful time. Communication is very easy. Quality of accommodations marvelous. Excellent bikes. Extra transportation arrangements definitely appreciated! Rated a 10, we especially enjoyed the customization we had for our stay at La Bobadilla. E-bike definitely required for this trip, or at least, if you’re older even if relatively fit, they make it so much easier to enjoy the ride. Overall we were quite pleased. I hope to ride with you again!

Route was great! The terrian was more challening than anticipated. So glad we had the ebikes. Two of us didn’t use the battery on our bikes often but there were a few hills we did and were glad we had the option. I am an avid cyclist and even I found it challenging at times. While the distances were not long each day the hills were no joke! The bikes fit us all perfectly. We were able to charge them each night and all hotels were very accommodating to this. We recommend the ebikes to make the trip more enjoyable. You don’t have to use the battery the whole time but it was nice to have the extra help especially near the end of the trip when we were getting tired.

Day trip to El Caminito del Rey
A private day trip to El Caminito del Rey provides an unforgettable adventure along one of Spain’s most spectacular and scenic walkways. The route features narrow paths clinging to steep cliffs, offering breathtaking views of the gorge and the Guadalhorce River below. With a private guide, travelers can enjoy a personalized experience, learning about the history, geology, and engineering of this iconic trail. You will be picked up in a luxurious, private van from the Parador in Antequera, taken to the entrance of the walk. Then, you'll have time to complete the walk and you'll be picked up at the end of the route. You can be transferred back to the Parador, or elsewhere (i.e. Malaga, Seville, Cordoba).
Day trip to El Torcal Natural Park
Enjoy a day trip up to El Torcal Natural park where you can meander around one of Spain’s most unique karst landscapes. Hiking trails wind through dramatic limestone formations, with panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and distant mountains. The area’s rich geology and serene atmosphere make it a perfect destination for nature lovers and photographers alike. We'd recommend another night at the Parador de Antequera after this excursion or you could be taken directly to the train station in Antequera or to Malaga city.
City tour in Cordoba
As many travelers arrive in Cordoba, before their tour, we are happy to offer a 3-hour city tour (including a visit to La Mezquita, the Juderia and the Alcázar). Whilst you visit the city, with an official guide, your bags will be stored safely and, upon terminating the city tour, you'll be escorted into a taxi to Lucena. Your Bike Spain agent can help with train tickets to Cordoba.
Extra night in Malaga
Malaga is a stone's throw from Antequera and there is an international airport there. Many clients have found flights from the USA directly to Malaga. It might be easier to start, and-or end, the tour in Malaga. We work with various hotels in Malaga and would be happy to help you find an ideal spot to explore this beautiful coastal city. We can also organize transfers, or public transport, from Malaga to Lucena or from Antequera to Malaga.
