What fitness level do I need for this tour?

No specific fitness level is required. Our e-bikes handle the effort so you can focus on the experience. The daily distances are manageable and the pace is relaxed. This journey is designed for presence, not performance.

What's the group size?

All our journeys run with up to 8 guests. This keeps the group small enough for real connection — couples, friends, and solo travellers who leave as companions. The intimate size also means a deeper relationship with your guide and more meaningful cultural encounters.

What's included in the price?

The price includes: Liability insurance and assistance, E-Bike with pannier, Professional English-speaking guide, Backup vehicle, Luggage transfer, Airport transfer, and more. Everything is handled so you can be fully present.

What type of bike is provided?

E-bikes are the default on all our journeys, removing the fitness filter so the experience is about shared presence, not individual performance. The e-bikes are high-quality models suited to the terrain. If you prefer a standard bike, that can be arranged.

What's the best time of year for this tour?

Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–November) are ideal. Summers can be hot in Andalusia, though mornings and evenings are pleasant for cycling.
