On your bike you will see horses and carriages, gypsies with mules, Moorish-inspired houses with big chimney pots and whitewashed villages stretching over hills. We´ll cycle through Medieval towns clustered with churches and castles that were part of the fortifications against the Spanish. Medieval hilltop towns are simply magnificent. Local crafts and arts are flourishing, especially pottery and paintings. History is plentiful; there are prehistoric remains and Roman ruins abound. Great wines that are unknown in the USA are abundant. We will learn about the varieties and taste all we wish.
