The sun has made its home there
Starting from Córdoba, the capital of Andalusia with its charming historic center, you’ll be delighted to discover Spain’s sunniest region—the birthplace of flamenco and a mecca for bullfighting. Andalusia also boasts a fabulous architectural heritage dating back to the Moorish rule that lasted fromthe 8thtothe 15thcentury.
Seville offers a striking example of this: the Real Alcázar Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Andalusian capital is also worth visiting for its narrow streets and flower-filled patios (in the Santa Cruz neighborhood) as well as its vast terraced gardens along the river, accessible via the Paseo de Cristóbal Colón.
Your cycling route will then take you to Arcos de la Frontera, a town perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the surrounding hills. From there, you’ll continue along the mountainside on the popular and very picturesque White Villages Route, so named because of the whitewashed houses. Exploring Andalusia on two wheels—a brilliant choice in more ways than one!
