The Los Alcores Greenway and Alcalá de Guadaíra Loop immerses you in a mountain bike tour that winds through the history and nature of the Sevillian countryside. Over its 57.5 kilometers, with 308 meters of elevation gain, you'll pedal along the old Vía Verde de Los Alcores and trails beside the Guadaíra River, enjoying a mosaic of olive groves, orange orchards, and cultivated fields. The views of the Castillo de Alcalá de Guadaíra from Parque Oromana are a highlight, offering a stunning backdrop to this adventure, which takes approximately 3 hours and 55 minutes and is of moderate difficulty.
To plan your outing, keep in mind that this route is best avoided after heavy rains, as the "albero" (compacted earth) terrain can become very slippery and difficult to navigate. No permit requirements are mentioned, but it's always advisable to carry sufficient hydration, especially on hotter days. This route demands a good level of physical fitness, so be prepared for a consistent effort that will reward you with ever-changing landscapes.
This route is notable for its cultural and historical immersion, passing by flour mills and castles like Marchenilla, which narrate centuries of history. The Vía Verde de Los Alcores, once known as "El tren de los panaderos" (The Bakers' Train), adds a nostalgic touch to the journey. It's an excellent way to connect with the rich heritage of the Seville region while enjoying a challenging mountain bike ride.
