Vespa Tour of Southern Spain

After breakfast, we set out on our first ride through a string of timeless villages: Cañete La Real, El Burgo, Yunquera, and Ardales. The highlight of the day is the thrilling walk through Caminito del Rey, one of the world’s most dramatic cliffside paths suspended above the deep El Chorro gorge. Once dubbed the “most dangerous path in the world,” it’s now a safe yet exhilarating experience. We return to our hotel to relax and reflect on the stunning landscapes we’ve explored.

Today, we journey through the rural heart of Andalucia, passing through Alfarnate, Ventas de Zafarraya, and Alhama de Granada, with sweeping mountain views along the way. Our destination is the legendary city of Granada, where we’ll take a guided tour of the magnificent Alhambra Palace—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Spain’s greatest architectural treasures. The day ends with a lively evening of tapas and wine as we wander the city’s enchanting alleyways.

Leaving Granada behind, we ride west through dramatic scenery en route to the historic town of Antequera. Along the way, we pass the hilltop villages of Íllora, Montefrío, and Iznájar, known for their winding streets and castle-topped skylines. In Antequera, we explore the ancient Alcazaba fortress, offering panoramic views over the rooftops of this storied town. The afternoon is yours to relax or roam before we gather for dinner.

We begin the day with a visit to El Torcal Nature Reserve, a surreal landscape of twisted limestone formations that feel more like a sci-fi set than southern Spain. From there, we wind through the countryside via Villanueva de la Concepción, Álora, and Alzonzina, eventually arriving in Ronda—a town perched dramatically above the Tajo Gorge. Here we visit Spain’s oldest bullring and museum, then stroll through Ronda’s romantic old quarter after dinner.

This day is a feast for the senses as we visit La Almazara - LA Organic, an olive oil museum where you’ll learn the centuries-old traditions of olive farming and production. Back on the road, we ascend through the breathtaking Sierra de Grazalema, riding past Zahara de la Sierra, Grazalema, El Bosque, and Benacoaz—some of the most beautiful villages in Andalucia. We end the day in Setenil de las Bodegas, famous for its houses built directly into massive cliff overhangs.

Our final ride takes us to Olvera, where we’ll explore a striking 12th-century hilltop castle that once defended the Nasrid kingdom. Surrounded by olive groves and rugged peaks, it’s a fitting final highlight. As we return to Teba through winding mountain roads and rolling olive orchards, we soak in one last panoramic view of Andalucia’s rural splendor. Back at base, we bid farewell to our Vespas and transfer to Málaga for departure.
