Gita in bici di un giorno da Granada a Güéjar-Sierra

This ride takes you from the heart of Granada—a city famous for the stunning Alhambra and its lively tapas culture—into the rugged beauty of the Sierra Nevada foothills, finishing up in the charming mountain village of Güéjar-Sierra. Covering just over 23 kilometers, this route is definitely one for the climbers, with over 1,000 meters of ascent, so come prepared for some leg-burning switchbacks and rewarding views!

You’ll start on Granada's urban streets and quickly transition onto quieter country roads and tracks, weaving through olive groves and rolling hills. Nearly half the route’s surfaces are a mix—expect everything from smooth asphalt to stretches of gravel and cobblestones, which keep things interesting.

As you climb higher, the scenery opens up, revealing sweeping vistas of the valley below and snow-capped peaks in the distance. Güéjar-Sierra itself is a peaceful, whitewashed village with classic Andalusian charm—perfect for a well-deserved rest and maybe a locally brewed beer or mountain meal.

Take it steady, enjoy the changing landscapes, and bring your camera—this is Southern Spain at its finest!
