Ladies and Gentlemen it's time to start your engines!
In favor of a soft beginning to our Enduro-Tour in Andalusia we start our first day with some exercises on loose surfaces to get used to the bikes and the conditions. After that, we'll ride the first longer gravel section through the hilly landscape of the Malaga hinterland. Almogía is one of the typical white towns of Andalusia, with narrow, cobblestone alleys and a quaint central Plaza with a café. Perfect for a break.
On our way to Antequera, a medieval Andalusian town, we explore the impressive rock formations of El Torcal. Antequera features many impressive sights and attractions like the Alcazaba, a medieval fortress, as well as numerous churches, chapels, mansions and fountains. Could there be a better place for lunch?
In the afternoon we ride past the massive reservoir of Guadalhorce, the largest of several lakes where water for the cities of Andalusia is stored. The area features several gorges and canyons, with Garganta del Chorro being the most famous one.
From a mirador high up you can get a great overview of the area before we tackle another gravel road and ride through remote mountain regions to Ardales. Three of Andalusia's top highlights in one day, not bad, for the first day.
