March 31, 2025,AN01: Jaén - Luque (Cordoba).

Our first ride and long day in Andalusia started with an exploration of the city of Jaén up to and including the Castillo de Santa Catalina for which we had to shake a climb out of our legs. An encounter with a donkey was part of this and of course above the view of Jaén and the olives.
After the …

A large number of wild rabbits ran across the path and also an unknown larger cat species. Wild fig trees with …

May 18, 2025,Vía Verde del Aceite - Tag 2 von Zuheros nach Jaén

Today I wanted to leave a little earlier, but it ended up being 10 a.m. I shouldn't have watched ESC yesterday. The stage was quite well-planned: 20 km of gentle downhill, 35 km of gentle uphill, then another 20 km of gentle downhill (roughly). At the beginning, the route continued along the Sierra Subbética National Park, after which the landscape …

February 23, 2025,Zuheros - Jaen - Via Verde del Aceite - day 2

Great ride today. Started at 9am when the sun was still behind some of the hills. Beautiful landscapes - miles and miles of Olive trees. I stated at Hotel Zuhayra zercahoteles.com/hotel-zuhayra last night as I decided this was a two day ride. The hotel was great and had a safe, locked buiding for my bike. Zuheros is a quaint village …

November 9, 2023,Andalousie jour 6

Overdose of olive fields for this sixth day. The 75 kilometers of the stage are covered entirely on two greenways. Which gives the impression of evolving in an ocean of trees. At times it almost feels like a futuristic comic book. Because all trees are the same. Apart from the Jaen exit where there is a little traffic before returning …
