Loop club

We start in Cortes de la Frontera, a town that sounds like it guards something epic. And to be fair, it kind of does. Tucked between two natural parks and surrounded by cork oak forests - this is where our little 45 km adventure begins. Now here comes the plot twist: for once, the ride doesn’t immediately try to break your legs. Surprise! Your warm-up is a 5 km descent. That’s right — downhill. No climbing, no swearing, just smooth coasting

It starts with a climb. It ends with a glow-up. I know what you’re thinking — "Another route from Ubrique?!" Yes, again. Always. Forever! This 70 km semi-loop has it all: hills that hurt just right, suspiciously empty roads, fluffy sheep barricade, pine-scented climbs, a house built into a rock (seriously), and the kind of sunset descent that makes you believe in happy endings.

Leaving Ubrique is like a cycling character test. Can you do it? Congratulations — the other climbs might as well hide (although, sadly, they don’t disappear). But the good news? You’re in the Sierra de Grazalema, aka the ultimate ride playground. Here, you can mix & match routes from my blog until your legs give up — figuratively and literally.

Welcome (back) to Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park — where you can ride like a pro from La Vuelta, conquering tough climbs and enjoying stunning views. A 60 km route from El Bosque, with ascents, descents, and the mysterious Fuente de Peñarroya. Ready to suffer with a smile?

Ride in Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park once and boom — you're in love, you're in pain, you're on Idealista looking for a finca rustica...
