Description

Begin your adventure in the heart of historic Ronda, where you’ll meet your Technical Route Marshal for a comprehensive safety briefing and professional gear fitting. From here, dive into the Via Pescadora, an ancient trade route used for centuries by locals to transport goods between the mountains and the coast.

As you leave the Ronda plateau, the air fills with the scent of wild rosemary and thyme. Navigate the deep 'dehesa', Andalusia’s iconic ecosystem of holm and cork oaks, where the canopy provides a natural cooling shade. The route then opens up into the vineyards of Arriate, one of Spain’s most exclusive boutique wine regions, offering sweeping vistas of the Sierra de las Nieves.

Unlike standard tours, this 'Epic' experience is backed by dedicated mobile support. Your support vehicle is not just a van; it is your on-call safety net. Your Route Specialist monitors your progress from strategic checkpoints along the Via Pescadora, ensuring you have mechanical assistance and local expertise if needed. You have the freedom of the trail, backed by the security of a professional team.

The journey culminates in a spectacular descent into the canyon of Setenil de las Bodegas. Enter via a 'secret' back road, emerging directly under the massive limestone boulders that serve as the roofs for the village’s famous cave houses. In Setenil, you have the freedom to explore and have a tapas lunch before you continue your ride to the final meeting point. Once you finish cycling, your support vehicle will take you back to Ronda.
