Beginning in Montejaque village, ride through dramatic mountains and cork oak forest to Grazalema. Cycle to the top of Las Palomas Pass (nearly 1400m) for amazing views, then thrill to a 14km switchback descent down to Zahara village.
The three villages you will pass through date from Arab times but all have a distinctly different look and feel: Montejaque is small and sleepy; Grazalema was a wealthier village, built on a large blanket weaving industry, so contains some grand old houses, and Zahara sits dramatically above its startlingly blue lake, with the remains of an Arab fort still dominating the skyline above the village.
