Cycle tours in Andalusia

The Andalusian climate is characterised by a lot of sunshine. Even in the coldest winter months you can expect temperatures of up to 17 degrees. Between June and September, the temperatures reach an average of 30 degrees during the day. That’s why we pause in July and August. In summary, warm temperatures can be expected, however, as with everywhere, the rain can also come!

Andalusian cuisine brings together many different cultures, flavours and ways of life. In the foreground is undoubtedly the Mediterranean cuisine, which brings a lot of fish and seafood to the plate. But the influences of those in the countryside have left their mark. Probably the most famous dish from the southern Spanish region of Andalusia is the world famous Gazpacho. The cold vegetable soup was consumed by farmers in the field, giving them refreshment and food at the same time.

"You are your best you" – this is the Andalusia's motto. Where else could you celebrate this credo better than at one of the countless festivals? Nearly every day there are events taking place in southern Spain's small and larger towns. Sometimes it is all about the world famous artist Pablo Picasso, who declared Málaga his second home, sometimes the Spaniards celebrate their special ham 'Jamón', which is delicious, air-cured ham from free-range Iberico pigs.

• that Andalusia is only 14km from Africa?
• that flamenco comes from Andalusia?
• that 50% of the area of Andalusia consists of forest?
• that Iberico doesn’t have a Denomination of Origin status? In fact, the type of pig used to make the ham is what gives it its name – the Iberian pig.
