Beautiful biking trip to southern Spain. Spent two days ahead of our group ride in Granada – touring the city and Alhambra. Then met our Trek group – 12 riders and two leaders. I was the only American! Three couples from Australia, two couples from Vancouver, and a solo rider from France (by way of Denver!).

We spent two nights at a beautiful hotel – La Bobadilla. We road two trips from there. Then went on to Ronda for 3 nights. Each day was an exploration from Ronda. This included a climb up Puerto de las Palomas (a Tour de Espana segment).

We enjoyed olive oil tasting at a very modern and progressive facility (LA), wine tasting, a flamenco performance, and lots of wonderful food (I ate tapas whenever I could – my favorite was the roasted baby artichokes). Trek Travel did a wonderful job of logistics and assisting the group. I got to ride an awesome bike – a Domane +.

I finished up with an extra day in Seville – toured the City and the old Jewish Quarter. Overall a great trip – wonderful folks to ride with, perfect weather, and a great place to ride a bike on country roads.
