After adjusting the bikes to personal wishes (saddle height, handlebar height, etc.) we make a tour through the city. Seville has an excellent cycle route network, developed since 2007. Today we cycle around 30 km in the city and pass the most important monuments. In the evening we will eat delicious tapas.

Day 3. Sevilla El Rocio

From our hotel we cycle to the pilgrimage site ‘El Rocio’; a trip on the paths used by thousands of pilgrims, who come to this village every year at Pentecost to honor the virgin Rocio. They come from far and wide, with horses and horse-drawn carts and the Andalusian flamenco clothing makes it a colorful whole. The journey there, which sometimes takes a week, is considered as important as the ceremony at the virgin Rocio itself. Even though we go outside the pilgrimage week, it is an experience to follow this route that leads from the Aljarafe through the beautiful natural park of Coto Doñana The majority are gravel and sand paths, but easy to ride with the bicycles we have at our disposal. The arrival and stay in el Rocio, the ‘cowboy village’ with dirt roads and white houses that we share with a small group of permanent residents, is a unique experience.

You can take a short break here to taste the best ’tortillitas de camarones’ and to see some of this surprising town. You then drive parallel to the coast in about one hour to Chipiona. This coastal town is very popular with Spaniards from Seville. It also has beautiful white sandy beaches, there are many eateries along the boulevard; all in all very relaxing.
