The mountain road near Puerta de Baro towards Villanueva de la Concepción covers a section of approximately eighteen kilometers, making it perfect for exploring by bike. The route runs through a typical Andalusian landscape with expansive olive groves, rolling hills, and impressive mountain views. Shortly after the start, the road begins a gentle climb and winds its way through the open, bright landscape in wide curves.
About halfway along the route lies the village of Villanueva de la Concepción, nestled at the foot of the striking El Torcal de Antequera rock massif. It's worth taking a break here to enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains or refuel at a small café. The route offers a diverse landscape – longer climbs alternate with gentle downhill stretches, inviting you to a leisurely yet sporty ride.
Endless rows of olive trees stretch to both sides of the road, interspersed with small farmsteads and stone walls, creating an authentic image of rural Andalusia. The route reveals itself at its most beautiful, especially in the morning hours, when the light softly falls over the fields. The tour thus offers an ideal combination of exercise, tranquility, and nature – a quintessential slice of Andalusia for cyclists who want to experience the landscape with all their senses.
