About this tour
Descend 36km along a converted railway corridor between Olvera and Puerto Serrano in Andalucía, riding an easy gradient through olive country for roughly five hours. The old track threads beneath thirty tunnels and across stone viaducts, dipping into river valleys and past clifftop griffon vultures. No technical skill needed—families and casual riders handle it comfortably. Transport from Ronda frames the day.

- Griffon vulture colony visible on cliff faces
- Mostly downhill, flat-bottomed railway bed

What to expect
You'll roll downhill most of the day on a wide, packed-earth former railway line—no steep climbs or technical sections. The riding is steady and contemplative, passing through long tunnels that cool you in summer and over open viaducts offering valley views. Sections run alongside small rivers and through working olive landscapes. Stop at the visitor centre to check the vulture-cam and spot birds on the crags above. The minibus collects you at the southern end in Puerto Serrano.
Good to know
Bring sun protection and enough water; little shade on exposed viaducts. The track is unsurfaced but smooth. Infant seats available. Public transport options nearby if you prefer alternatives. Allow time at the visitor centre.
