La TransAndalus is a 2000-kilometer mountain bike route that takes you through all eight provinces of Andalusia. Not along highways, asphalt roads or crowded tourist spots, but via rural paths, old livestock trails and quiet natural areas. A route for anyone who loves long rides, sore legs and endless views.

The weather usually plays along

In Andalusia, you rarely have to worry about surprise showers or freezing headwinds. The dry and mild climate is perfect for bikepacking trips. That means: your tent on the back, your stove packed, and off you go. Whether you're riding in spring, autumn, or even mid-winter, you'll often have sunshine on your face and dust on your wheels.

Nature reserves that make you stop

La TransAndalus passes through quite a few protected areas where you’ll want to hit the brakes. Not just because your legs need a break, but because the view demands it. Think Cabo de Gata with its volcanic cliffs, the gypsum caves of Sorbas, the forests of Cazorla or the vast plains of Doñana. In fact, 35% of the route runs through protected nature. So expect little traffic, lots of peace and quiet, and the occasional sheep blocking the way.

Not just for hardcore bikers

You don’t need to be a cycling fanatic to enjoy the TransAndalus. The trail is made up of varied stages — some challenging, others more relaxed. Pick a province, plan a few days, and ride at your own pace. Thanks to the changing landscapes — from mountains to forests and from cork oaks to desert — every stretch feels fresh.

A route that sticks with you

Valleys like Los Pedroches, mountain ranges such as Sierra de los Filabres, and remote spots like the Sierra de Gádor make this route something special. You’ll hardly see any cars, but you will meet shepherds, donkeys, and the occasional bar where they’ll refill your water bottle and serve a seriously good bocadillo.

In short: if you're into cycling and want to experience Andalusia differently, the TransAndalus is a solid choice. All you need is a good bike, strong legs and a taste for adventure.
