Seville Roman Bike Tour

Combine fresh air, sightseeing, eating and stunning Roman ruins on a half-day mountain bike trip to Italica. Join us on a fantastic bike tour to the Old Roman City of Italica, the first Roman Colonial City founded in “Hispania”, at just 9km from Seville. Escape the city and enjoy a beautiful morning riding a mountain bike along the River Guadalquivir and through the sunny countryside around Seville to discover the mystery of the ancient city of Italica. Visit the Amphitheatre where the gladiators fought for glory, the Houses, the Theatre, the Thermal Baths, Discover how the Romans used to live in this stunning site, which saw the birth of two Roman Emperors and brought the luxury of Rome to Italica and Spain. A safe, comfortable and almost flat ride, by designated bike path in the urban area and then by dirt road without cars as we move away from the city. No great physical ability is required, for regular bikers it will be a pleasant and effortless pedal, and if you are not such an expert cyclist, you´ll just need more water, a more plentiful lunch and you will sleep like a baby at night, maybe a little saddle-sore but content at having completed the challenge! Your expert local cycle guide will take you along some of the best tracks between Seville and Santiponce/Italica, making brief stops to show you points of special interest. He will explain the history and origins of this ancient city and will guide you through some of the most impressive parts of the Roman archaeological complex.
