The blue village of Júzcar is one of the main attractions of this route and considering we specialise in White Villages, this may be an unnatural fit but it was once a White Village and its unusual history has resulted in the town being painted blue.

The route itself is simple, starting near the town of Parauta, you will begin with a nice steady downhill ride, passing the town of Cartajima and through oak forests and chestnut forests until you reach the blue town of Júzcar.

From Júzcar the route starts to undulate with some short climbs and descents past Faraján and to the town of Alpandeire where you will face a long and steady ascent. Up until this point, the ascents have been short so this will feel a little more challenging and is what makes the route more moderate than easy. However, once you've finished the climb, you are rewarded with a long descent into Ronda where your ride will complete.
