What to expect
You'll collect your e-bike from the shop, get fitted with helmet and safety gear, then ride roughly 30km round trip to Santiponce. The electric assist makes the pedalling manageable for varied fitness levels. Once at Italica, your guide leads you on foot through the excavated city—expect dusty paths, open ruins under Spanish sun, and detailed stories about Roman daily life and imperial connections. The amphitheatre is genuinely vast and offers perspective on the site's former grandeur. Allow time to wander and absorb the scale; this isn't a rushed sprint through history.
