The best gravel rides in Guadiato-Bembezar

One of the most legendary climbs in the Sierra de Córdoba, well-known for both hiking and mountain biking. It's a tough, consistent climb, very popular with local cyclists and races like the Andalucía Bike Race and the Guzmán el Bueno (the latter often runs it in the opposite direction). The Cuesta del Reventón ascends towards the Ermitas de Córdoba, a classic panoramic viewpoint. It's a wide, rocky path with a steep incline, frequently used by cyclists and hikers. Approximate length: between 2.7 km (classic route) and 4.7 km depending on the mountain bike variant. Elevation gain: between 155 m and 486 m, depending on the route.

Circular route from Turruñuelos Park, Córdoba, passing through: - Torrehoria Viewpoint (19.5 km) - Torre del Beato (23.1 km) - Torre de las Siete Esquinas (24.5 km) - Bridge over the canal (29.5 km) The route begins along the Guadalmellato Canal, ascends through La Canchuela, Llanos de los Mesoneros, passes the El Cruce gas station, enters the "Fangor" forest, Torrehoria, Camino del Nuo Bajo, Torre del Beato, Torre de las Siete Esquinas, and from there descends to reach the start of the Trassierra Trail. Except for the descent from Siete Esquinas, the route, exceptionally beautiful given the recent rainfall in the mountains with runoff everywhere, follows paths without technical difficulty, making it even more appealing. It's a challenging distance but offers stunning views of the surrounding area and the city and its environs from the highest points.

The Church of San Pedro (now the Minor Basilica of San Pedro) is one of the oldest and most historic churches in Córdoba. It was built on the remains of a 4th-century basilica that housed the remains of the Cordoban martyrs Januarius, Martial, and Faustus. After the Christian conquest (1236), Ferdinand III ordered its construction between the 13th and 14th centuries, forming part of the Ferdinandine churches.

The Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba is one of the most impressive monuments in the world, a symbol of Islamic art in the West and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. It was originally the Visigothic Basilica of San Vicente, shared by Christians and Muslims. In 784, Abd al-Rahman I began construction of the mosque, which was expanded by his successors: Abd al-Rahman II, Abd al-Rahman III, Al-Hakam II, and Almanzor. After the Christian Reconquista in 1236, it was consecrated as the Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady, and in 1523 a Renaissance basilica was built inside.

Excellent car-free bike route along the canal.

Generations of stork families have made this location their home. You find them here every year during spring, refreshing their nests and rearing their young.
