White Villages of Andalusía Tour Reviews — 1 to 5 of 5

Was an excellent trip, beautiful scenery, great guide and wonderful food

Ignacio was a fantastic guide. Lodging was very nice. He was knowledgeable, helpful and fun.

This is in the top of the bike tours I've taken. We had a party of 8 and the local tour operator worked with us to make it happen (we've done a previous tour with this operator and they are top notch). One issue we have, my wife is short so finding a bike that fits her is a challenge, they came through 100% for us. The operator moves your luggage daily and provides assistance should you need it, they were great. Unless you are a strong biker I recommend an E-bike for this tour so you can concentrate on the many great sites.
The tour takes you to some of the top locations in Andalusia. We were picked up in Málaga and taken by van to Ronda for our first hotel. However, before you go to Málaga for the rendezvous take some time to tour some of the UNESCO sites in Spain, they seem to have more than any other country. Our hotels were wonderful and of Parador quality. You start in Rhonda which is famous for the bridges that span the canyon, the largest towers 390 feet above the canyon floor, and the oldest bullfighting ring in Spain. We rode local the next day and found the blue Surf Village!. The next day is to Grazalema where after a wonderful ride we soaked in the pool. Day four was through the town of Grazalema into Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park where you top out and then have a wonderfully long downhill descent ending up in Arcos de la Frontera, another one of those beautiful White Towns, remember to conserve your battery a bit for the last uphill! The next day was a great day of cycling ending in Medina Sidonia, will we get tired of white villages? The next day, how many have we been out here, ends in Vejer de la Frontera, yes another hilltop walled village. We saw fighting bulls grazing today and some of those wonderful black pigs we so loved to nibble on. Finally, we were riding to our destination Tarifa. This day was spent riding along the ocean, passing through fishing villages and as we closed in on Tarifa discovered it is one of the top wind sports destinations in the world, what fun to watch. Once at your hotel take some time to watch the ferries as they cross to Morrocco, yes you can see Morrocco from here. We loved this tour, the operator and all of the hotels. With some planning you can make this trip the cornerstone of a wonderful tour of Spain. We headed off to walk a Camino after this!

The white villages were beautiful. The hotels were excellent and our guides were so kind and attentive. Great trip and we had e-bikes which we needed for elevation changes.

Riding along the coast, seeing the kite surfers, was amazing, in Tarifa, and the major down hill in the National park, was an incredible experience. Really well done trip, great guides, and hotels. The white villages were great - all the little back alleys, artisans at work, numerous small restaurants and bars to explore. Moroccan food in Vejer, and the dinner at the Pamadore, all wonderful.
