Select participants and date
You arrive in Málaga and the Mediterranean sun immediately sets a tempo: warm light on white village walls, the low murmur of a town that prefers evening to midday. Guides from Toro Blanco Active Holidays meet you at arrivals and, over a transfer through orange groves, the itinerary unfolds—eight days of road and village lanes that stitch Málaga to Granada, Guadix and the limestone towers of Torcal de Antequera.

Adventure Tips
Start early to beat heat
Begin daily rides before 9am when temperatures are cooler and traffic is lighter; plan a midday break at the hottest hours.
Carry spare tube and pump
Even with support vehicles, a spare tube and compact pump will keep you rolling through rural stretches where help can be minutes away.
Respect local traffic and farmers
Use village etiquette—single file, minimal horn use, and ask before photographing private farmland or livestock.
Book Alhambra in advance
The guided Alhambra visit is scheduled into the tour but is strictly timed—confirm ticket details before arrival to avoid disappointment.

Conservation
Visitors traverse sensitive karst and badland areas; stick to paths, avoid trampling vegetation and respect local water use—Andalusia faces periodic drought so minimize consumption.
