Meeting point
Meet in the car park outside Ronda train station. There is free street parking in the area of the station or inexpensive parking at the station car park. From Ronda we drive to Olvera to the start of the ride (45 minute drive).
Description
This is a very popular ride along the wide, unsurfaced track of a disused railway line. We do the downhill version of this route, making it an easy ride, suitable for families and leisure cyclists. The route meanders through valleys, olive groves, forests and along flowing rivers. You will pass through 30 tunnels (the longest is nearly 1km in length) and over 4 viaducts. Ride past a vulture colony, high up on the cliffs, and pop into the visitor centre to watch the “vulture-cam”. This route is self-guided; we drive you to the start point at the old station building in Olvera (approx 45 minutes from Ronda) and the minibus meets you in Puerto Serrano to bring you back to Ronda.

Accommodation, bag transfers all ten out of ten, some of the small villages we cycled through were picture post card that you wouldn't have found by car, will definitely be back next year.
Many Thanks

A perfect day trip
Santi picked us up at the train station and drove us to the starting point. He provided a lot of useful information about the route and surrounding area. The bikes were ideally suited for the ride and were very well maintained. We really enjoyed the scenery and riding through the tunnels was great fun. The ride was quite easy, although there was one long hill at the end. Santi was waiting for us at the end of the trip and got us back to Ronda promptly.

Great 5 days around Ronda
We had a fantastic 5 days of Hiking and Riding with Heather and Wayne in the areas around Ronda. They are great hosts and very knowledgeable about the area. We could not have chosen a better tour operator. The routes and scenery where stunning. They also recommended the hotel we stayed in which was excellent. I would highly recommend using them and would definitely use them again.

Stunning 36km family cycle, excellent organisation by Hike & Bike, enabling us to just turn up, cycle and enjoy!
Stunning 36km bike ride along the Via Verde de la Sierra. Through 30 tunnels, over 4 viaducts, past a nesting site of vultures, along a planned railway track that was never completed. Very highly recommended! Heather was fabulous, meeting us at the train station, driving us to the start, providing the bikes (which were great) and useful tips for the route, meeting us at the end and driving us back to our hotel. Superb service. Heather also provided us with a restaurant recommendation for the evening which was delicious.

Thank you for sharing how much you enjoyed your bike ride with us. We would love to see you back again someday to ride again. Wayne

Great fun!
The day started out problematically because there was an epic rainstorm. Heather adjusted her plans and picked us up at our hotel. Because of the rain, she gave us options to how we would like to proceed. We decided that once we got wet, we would be soaked and it wouldn’t matter anymore. So glad we chose this option! The Via Verde was scenic, fun, and the added rain etc made it more exciting! On the way to and from our ride, Heather was able to give us a lot of interesting information about the area and the history. She is very personable and we shared a lot of laughs. Highly recommend this company! Oh, btw- the bikes and helmet were in great condition!

Wonderful bike ride
Beautiful scenery. We saw vultures flying. Easy bike ride. Very peaceful. Heather drove us to the start and collected us at the end. The bikes were well maintained and the lights were useful in the tunnels.

Enjoyable ride on the Via Verde
Due to the weather Wayne contacted us to delay the ride by 1 hour, which worked well as we missed the rain. The ride was easy and it was great to be out in the countryside away from the crowds. The Via el Verde was picturesque with views of the countryside. The bikes were well equipped and the bike lights helped with the longer tunnels.

Via Verde de la Sierra bike hire
Fabulous cycle with brilliant views. It was great to cycle along the Via Verde and not have to worry about vehicles. It was fun to cycle over all the bridges and through the tunnels along the route! It was particularly helpful that the hire bikes had lights fitted for going through the longer tunnels. The hire bikes were first class - brakes and gears all worked perfectly as they should and Wayne was very helpful with the set up. He even provided us with panniers for my backpack which was welcome in the heat! Overall excellent service from Heather and Wayne from booking to end of trip.
