- Ronda - You will cycle along an old railway line that weaves smoothly through the mountains north of Ronda. The cycle route is 36km and used to be a railway line, so it naturally descends gradually from start to finish, making it a fun and easy cycling route. Once you meet with the guide at the pick-up point, we drive to the town of Olvera where the start of the Via Verde is located. At the start point, you will be fitted with bicycles that have been pre selected based on the rider’s height (we will have gathered this information from you in advance). Now you have been fitted with a bicycle and helmet the guide will explain the route you will be cycling. The route is self-guided and has a few points of interest a long the route such as a vulture conservation centre and old stations, one of which has been turned into a recreational area with cafe. You will have 3.5 hours to finish the route which will be at the final station on the route and you will be collected by your guide here. Your guide will also be available to you as a support vehicle during the route. Navigation is also not required as it is a dedicated cycling and walking route and has no junctions to navigate.

Fantastic bike ride in Ronda with White Village Tours! - Top Notch! This was an absolutely amazing trip! Lee was fantastic from the beginning to the end. He Communicated with us in a timely amount and ran the tour exactly as described. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and helpful. The bike ride itself along the Via Verde is beautiful. The photos cannot do the scenery justice. The bike ride did involve a fair amount of riding on gravel, but the wide tires of his bikes made that a breeze even for this less/than-expert rider. One magical moment- about 10 school aged children were riding through one of the tunnels ahead of us, their happy laughing voices echoing like a bird song at dawn. Lee was so great- he also gave us recommendations for restaurants, other places to visit and so on. Cannot recommend this tour and Lee highly enough.

Spanish countryside - with a comfy padded seat - Highly recommend this as a day out. Lee had everything in hand - including arranging packed lunches for our bike ride. The ride was relatively easy - so long as you are comfortable with a bit of riding on gravel. The route was scenic and not busy at all - just beautiful views of the Spanish country side. A great way to got off the beaten path.

Great way to see the Spanish countryside - What a wonderful ride and wonderful day! Lee was great - informative, thoughtful, helpful, and attentive. The 36 k ride was easy and comfortable, even for a less experienced rider. The scenery is just lovely - olive groves, fields cleared of grain crops, white farm houses dotting the countryside. The route is an old train line, with relatively flat terrain and numerous tunnels along the way. There’s no better way to soak in the Spanish countryside. We highly recommend and would love to do it again.

Professional set up and a lovely cycling route suitable for all levels. - This was a fabulous experience and definitely a highlight of our stay in Ronda. Lee ensured that the bikes were set up correctly for Duncan & I and that we had a good packed lunch, which was outstanding quality, in case the cafe en route was closed. The bikes were sturdy but light and very well maintained. We had a really relaxing and fun time and completed the ride in around 3.5 hours. Lee dropped us off at the beginning of the route and collected us at the end and took us back to Ronda. In all around a 6 hour trip.

- I highly recommend White Village Tours! Lee, the owner, was attentive and his added touches are well worth it. It was comforting to know he would remain in the area, if we needed anything. The trail was better than expected and there is a VULTURE reserve to visit along the way -- the docent is skilled in operating the cameras so we could watch LIVE action.
And there is a restaurant where the trail ends with high quality food.
It was a very good day! Do it! 😁

Fantastic bike tour Via Verde - A fantastic bike ride with 30 tunnels. Mostly driving down. Last piece is firmly up (walking)
Lee from White Village Tours is a very friendly entrepreneur, who will take you to the starting location in his car and at the end of the bike ride you will be waiting for you and will bring you back to Ronda.
The bikes, mountain bikes, are perfect for this tour. The road consists of 90% gravel. Through Lee you can arrange a packed lunch that you can pick up before you get in the car at Tartasy in Ronda (price around 10-12 euros) (where you can have breakfast before the start)
For the road Lee has filled the bottles with water, which you can refill on the way. On the way there is no opportunity to eat, so bring your packed lunch, but at former Coripe train station it is possible to drink something too cold.
Book this tour with Lee and you won't regret it!

Don’t miss this beautiful half-day in the gorgeous hills near Ronda. Its (easy) exercise too :-) - This was a perfect experience. The cycle path had spectacular views and we were lucky enough to do this in May when we were surrounded by fields of wild flowers. It was truly beautiful.
The cycling was easy, a lot of gliding downhill with easy pedalling. We wore a number of thin layers of clothing which worked well as the temperature went up and down - cooler in the tunnels, warmer in the sunshine.
Lee, our guide was excellent. Picked us up exactly on time, gave us lots of information, set us up with the bikes at the beginning and picked us up at the end. The bikes and helmets were brand new and top quality. Plenty of gears, disc brakes, lights for the tunnels, clean and well serviced. Lee even offered extra padding for the seats if we wanted it. We cycled on a Monday (less busy than the weekends), so we had the whole gorgeous path to ourselves most of the time.
All of it went really smoothly, the views were great and the photo opportunities were abundant.
We totally recommend this as a beautiful day out from Ronda.

Lovely cycle along the Via Verde De La Sierra with White Village Tours - This is a lovely cycle route suitable for all abilities. The views are beautiful, there are several viaducts to cross and it was very exciting cycling through the many disused railway tunnels. There is a vulture sanctuary and a cafe en route.
Lee, who runs White Village Tours provided high quality bikes and good instructions and was waiting at the end of the 35km route with cool bottles of water. A lovely day out. ☺️
