You will cycle through quiet roads and breathtaking landscapes and enjoy the sun and way of life of andalusian people. Spend the night in some of the most beautiful Paradors of the region.
Gravel bikes available for this tour.
This tour starts in the wonderful city of Granada.
Every corner in Granada will take you to Arab times and you will enjoy the incredible culture of tapas and flamenco.
The first cycling day runs paralel to the river Genil until you reach Valdevaqueros, the hometown of Federico García Lorca.
Then you will cycle through beautiful landscapes and villages to finally get to Loja, a gorgeous white village.
Today´s cycling will take you to Antequera, in the heart of Andalucía. Spend the night at the Parador and enjoy every minute in this wonderful town.
One of the highlights of the tour will be for sure the visit to «El Caminito del Rey», a breathtaking place that will leave you speechless. Enjoy the mountain landscapes and the quiet roads that will bring you to this amazing place.
Today´s cycle ends up in the emblematic town of Ronda, one of the most famous in Andalucía. Located at the top of a deep gorge and whose old city center dates from the arab era.
The Parador of this impressive city is awaiting to give you a warm welcome.
Today you go down to the see from the Sierra de Ronda to reach Marbella. Despite being a touristic city, Marbella shelters an old historic center with narrow streets and a busy life.
The bike route ends in Marbella because it is difficult to get to Málaga by bike at this moment. Within the next few years a coastal path will be available but at this very moment is not possible. In any case, we propose to arrange a transfer to Málaga so that you can enjoy one day in this interesting city. If you like golf, there is a nice Parador in which you can practice and if you prefer to stay in the city center, there is another Parador in Gibralfaro Castle. Let us know your preferred option and we will give you a quote. If you want to make your own way to Málaga or a different place, of course, there is not problem.
Should you like to spend extra nights in one of the locations, please let us know in your inquiry and we will give you a quote

A brilliant family cycling holiday from Granada to Marbella. April was a great time to go. Friendly locals, stunning scenery, excellent accommodation and authentic villages and thank you to Jorge and Augustin for making it so special and taking fantastic care of us.
We cycled from Granada to Marbella (Costa del Sol) – what a beautiful trip! We rented a gravel bike and an electric bike between the 25th and 30th of March. We asked Jorge from Ants on Track to organize extra days in Malaga and Granada so we could enjoy both cities. The experience was great. The routes are great on secondary roads and country roads with beautiful and varied views. Ants on Track have nice local co-workers on this trip from Granada to Marbella. The accommodation was excellent and the luggage transport was very smooth. The electric bike was a great advantage as the trip has some significant climbing. The bike battery easily lasted all day. The service during the trip was phenomenal. Each day of the bike ride Ants on Track provided us with information about the final destination and additional details about the next day’s route. Jorge even organized a guided tour to El Caminito del Rey at very short notice the day before our arrival in El Chorro with excellent customer service. Jorge checked in every day to ask about our trip and accommodations. We have loved the experience of travelling with Ants on Track and would highly recommend their services and reliability
“Exceptional organisation. Great contact person who was in touch daily and available instantly for any queries arising . Extremely helpful and gave advice as to sights and restaurants etc wherever we were. Excellent hire bikes and the route perfect with lesser roads and bike paths . We enjoyed the variety of cities, small towns , history and rural areas . Excellent accommodation. Would thoroughly recommend this self guided tour.”
We really enjoyed the tour and were very satisfied.
Very good was:
– the great flexibility to adapt the route so that it fitted in with our individuell Andulsia tour
– the choice of hotels
– the bicycles
– the support and that there was always a contact person available
– the self-made key rings
– the GPS track, so that it was no problem to find the route
– the travel information in German
– the transfer to Torremollinos
We particularly liked the fact that the Caminito del Rey was integrated into the tour. What a beautiful place!
In our opinion, one point needs improvement: it was sometimes difficult to park and charge the four e-bikes properly. Fortunately, we had a multiple socket with us, otherwise it would not have been possible to charge the bikes overnight. In the Parador Antequera in particular, we had the feeling that our four e-bikes were not really welcome. In all places we found a solution, but only in El Chorro / La Garganta was it actually no problem.
But again, it was almost perfect. Thanks again for the great tour.
Thank you so much Jorge for our memorable biking trip through Andalusia— the fragrance of the orange blossoms while cycling through hills of olive trees, mountain passes with incredible vistas, white villages with excellent espresso truely memorable. The hotels were amazing respite after long days cycling! Thank you as well for your assistance in fixing the bikes and the shuttles — excellent support.
