Stops along the motorcycle route through Andalusia's best roads
Day 0. Arrival on the Costa del Sol
Arrival and preparations before hitting the road. Welcoming participants at the hotel and getting to know the group. Handing out materials and reviewing the route. Technical briefing covering the stages, pace, and riding philosophy. Time for questions and discussing the trip’s logistics. We’ll wrap up with a welcome dinner in a relaxed atmosphere to kick off the SoulRiders experience.
Day 1. Málaga – Grazalema – Ronda
A direct route from the coast into the heart of the countryside. The route quickly takes you into mountainous terrain, with the climb toward the Caminito del Rey and its spectacular gorges. The Sierra de las Nieves offers a very smooth stretch, with flowing curves and open mountain scenery. Grazalema introduces a more technical section, with narrow roads and a distinctive green landscape. On the way to Ronda, Setenil de las Bodegas appears, with its houses embedded in the rock as a unique visual highlight. The arrival in Ronda concludes the day with the imposing Puente Nuevo and a historic atmosphere linked to banditry and the biker world.
Day 2. Ronda – Jerez – Seville
A perfect day of transition between mountains, pastures, and the vast plains of Andalusia. The route out of Ronda still retains a mountainous feel before opening up onto wider roads. The stretch through Los Alcornocales National Park is one of the highlights of the day, with its wild, dense forests. Alcalá de los Gazules stands out as a key stop in the middle of the park, right at the intersection of nature and the road. From there, the route gradually picks up speed toward Jerez, now with more open, agricultural landscapes. The arrival in Seville concludes the stage with the contrast of a large, historic, and vibrant city—the perfect way to end the day.
Day 3. Seville – Úbeda
A long and very fulfilling day that connects the Sevillian countryside with the historic heart of Andalusia. The route departs from Seville, leaving the city behind to wind through secondary roads amid pastures and olive groves. Constantina marks the first major stop of the day, with its mountainous surroundings and a more winding route that breaks up the rhythm of the flat terrain. The route continues toward Córdoba, traversing wide, open landscapes before entering a city steeped in history. From there, the route heads into Jaén, a land of endless olive groves and winding roads through rolling hills. Baeza provides a spectacular cultural finale alongside its neighbor Úbeda, both of which are designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The arrival in Úbeda concludes the stage in a monumental setting that’s perfect for ending the day.
Day 4. Úbeda – Guadix
The route from Úbeda quickly connects with secondary roads heading toward the mountains, entering the area of the Cazorla, Segura, and Las Villas Natural Park. Passing through Cazorla marks the beginning of a change in landscape, with dense vegetation and a much more technical route. The Tranco Reservoir stands out as one of the day’s major scenic highlights, surrounded by mountains and with roads winding alongside the water. Throughout the day, the route retains a very natural character, with constant curves and little traffic. The transition toward Guadix brings a gradual shift toward more arid and open landscapes. The arrival in Guadix will be marked by the day’s big surprise.
Day 5. Guadix – Cabo de Gata
Day 6. Cabo de Gata – Granada
A day of stark contrasts that links the sea of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park with the high mountains of the Sierra Nevada. The route starts on the coast and quickly heads inland, passing through increasingly arid landscapes until it reaches the Alpujarra region of Granada.
The passage through Trevélez is one of the highlights of the day—the highest village on the peninsula, with its white architecture clinging to the mountainside and a landscape of continuous curves. The climb toward the Sierra Nevada brings a change of scale, with open mountain roads and increasingly sweeping views of the valley.
On the final stretch toward Granada, the landscape softens, giving way to smoother riding before entering the city.
The arrival in Granada brings the stage to a close, with the Alhambra dominating the horizon and a historic, vibrant atmosphere perfect for the end of the day.
Day 7. Granada – Málaga
The route from Granada climbs rapidly before beginning the descent toward the eastern coast.
The stretch through the Otívar area offers a truly enjoyable drive, with narrow mountain roads and sweeping views of the coast. From there, the route enters the heart of the Axarquía, one of the most authentic regions of Málaga.
Frigiliana is one of the highlights of the day, with its white-washed old town nestled on the hillside and an access road full of tight, winding curves. Nearby, Cómpeta retains the character of a mountain village with a Mediterranean flair and a technical road layout.
The route continues toward Comares, known as the “balcony of the Axarquía,” with winding roads and constant views of the Malaga countryside.
The final descent toward Malaga concludes the route by returning to the sea, completing a perfect circle between the coast, the mountains, and the white villages, with a very smooth and visually striking finish to the stage.
