Route in bicycle by the province of Seville, Cordova and Malaga, in the center of Andalucia.
The Guadalquivir river crosses the independent community of Andalucia from east to west.
The ample valley that forms in the "Sierra Morena", is flanked by elevated mountains in the south, soft mountain range, smooth and deep vegetation to the north. The predominant vegetation of this Countryside is formed of cereal and orchard and by great extensions of olive trees.
Sierra Morena separates Andalucia from the rest of Spain. It is formed by small hills filled with oaks and cork oaks. In the interior, fertile valleys where cattle feed.
Olive trees fill the valley of the Guardrail river.
The mountains of Malaga, pertaining to the Belic mountain range, crosses south of Andalucia from the south to the west. Formed mainly of limestone rock, giving an off-white aspect to the mountain side.
We will pedal through local highways and roadways, enjoying the landscape formed by meadows of oaks and cork trees, rolling hills that do not exceed the 700 meters of height, later to descend to the valley of the Guadalquivir, continuing on flat roadways and between olive trees until arriving to Antequera, on the foot of the "Penibética" mountains.
In our last route we will cross the mountain ranges of the "Torcal" until arriving to the Mountains of Malaga.
