This route, rich in history, links the towns of Santiago de Compostela and Salamanca both renowned for their human heritage. It was once the most important means of communication in the west of Spain (the “Silver Trail”), which later on was extended to connect the Mozarab route with Santiago de Compostela. This is a route of contrasting beauty which runs through the provinces of Salamanca , Orense, Pontevedra and La Coruña. The Archbishop of Fonseca, a well-known figure of the Renaissance, was the main patron of archaeological and cultural projects, giving his name to several institutions such as the colleges in Santiago and Salamanca. This trip is varied in its beauty and geography with plenty of monuments along the St James' Way. The people are friendly and the villages are abundant in local architecture. Medieval buildings, such as castles and palaces, will be our lodgings for most of the time. At other times, we will be staying at Paradores de Turismo, which always offer first class. These are privileged sites with fortresses, convents and monasteries as well as ancestral homes, which give us all the newest technologies for the modern needs of today's guests and the chance to savor the rich Spanish gastronomy, offering traditional regional cuisine. We shall use the minibus to reach the starting point of each of the routes, facilitating cycling on just those parts of the itinerary which will give you the most enjoyment.

Cycle through the beautiful landscape between the historic cities of Ronda and Granada. Our ride begins in the whitewashed cliff-top town of Ronda and moves on across the rural high sierras of Andalucia and through some very impressive, yet little-known landscapes. Following roads that for centuries echoed with the sound of Berber and Arab warlords and tradesmen, this is a journey of discovery through a rolling landscape of whitewashed farmhouses, olive trees, citrus groves, rugged limestone gorges and dense forest parks. We ride past ancient fortresses and decaying monasteries which reveal the region's changing fortunes, and we continue through the typically Andalucian villages of Antequera and Alhama de Granada, until we reach the hometown of the magnificent Alhambra Palace - Granada. We spend a full day in this charming city, which offers a unique mix of both Spanish and Arabic cultures: the perfect place to finish a fine week of cycling.
