Flamenco & Vistas: Sevilla to Granada
Flamenco to fiestas, gazpacho to tapas, bodegas to bullrings—the essence of Spain is found in Andalucía. In the remote expanses of this long-ago Moorish stronghold, every mountain peak and whitewashed village tells a story. We'll take you inside and reveal their secrets. A bike tour in Andalucía with Backroads—quintessentially wonderful!

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
With Andalucía's limestone cliffs and ancient hilltop towns, you can look forward to some great climbs and steep descents. If you want a boost, we can flatten some of the hills with strategic shuttles, but you should be comfortable with some long downhills or hopping in the van for a lift.
