A 7-day e-bike journey through Andalusia, linking whitewashed villages, desert badlands, high Alpujarran passes and a Granada finale.
Discover Andalusia E-Bike Tour crosses southern Spain from the high plateau near Guadix to the Mediterranean-facing Alpujarras, finishing in Granada. Riders pedal through cereal fields, olive orchards and almond groves to the whitewashed village of Castril, then on to the desert-like shores of Negratín Lake, with a soak in the naturally warm Baños de Zújar.
The route continues through Guadix's cave houses and Arab citadel, the ancient dolmens of Gorafe, and into the Alpujarras, where terraced farms, Berber-influenced villages and the ham-curing town of Trevélez showcase the region's Morisco heritage. A drive over Puerto de la Ragua (2,000m) brings sweeping views toward the Mediterranean and, on clear days, Africa.
The tour finishes in Granada, with optional visits to the Alhambra and a flamenco dinner to close out the trip. A support vehicle and guide accompany the group throughout.
