Cycling Andalusia, from Córdoba to Seville

Andalusia's greenway by bike
Set off on a cycling adventure in the heart of Andalusia, between Córdoba and Sevilla. This cycling trip takes you through bright and authentic landscapes, following the course of the Guadalquivir River and old railway lines converted into greenways. Your cycling adventure begins in Córdoba, the jewel of Andalusia dominated by the majestic Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba and the flower-filled streets of its historic quarter. As soon as you start pedalling, you leave the city behind and head for the Andalusian countryside: orchards, wheat fields and vast agricultural expanses make up a peaceful backdrop until you reach Écija, nicknamed the "city of towers ". The route continues towards Marchena through gently rolling countryside, then on to Carmona, perched on its promontory. The wide, quiet paths, sometimes hilly, ensure a pleasant ride through unspoilt rural surroundings. The last stage takes you gently to Seville, along the Alcores greenway and then a pleasant track along the river. The arrival in the Andalusian capital offers a vibrant contrast between nature and monumental heritage. An accessible cycle route, mainly on tracks and greenways, ideal for cycle tourists in search of sunshine, wide open spaces and history.
