The Conan Tour: Travel through the history of Spain

CONAN TOUR

The Conan Cycling Tour is an itinerary through the history of Spain.

In the south of Aragon, we start this adventure in Teruel. The Muslim population that remained during the Reconquista imprinted the city with Mudejar art, a symbiosis between Christian and Islamic styles.

We ride into the mountains along the Rodeno pinewoods, encountering prehistoric caves and numerous examples of rock art as we arrive in Albarracín. Protected by magnificent walls along the mountain crest, this hidden medieval village is a treasure in itself.

Located in one of the most lonely and desolate areas of Spain, Albarracín competes for the title of the most beautiful village in the country.

Crossing the deep forests and jagged ridges of the Sierra de Albarracín, at 1200 meters above the sea level, is just part of the adventure leading to our final conquest: Cuenca, in Castilla-La Mancha.

Nestled between the Júcar and Huécar river canyons, Cuenca is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its historic center looks out over rocky canyon walls in the heart of the Cuenca Mountains. The cathedral, Casas Colgadas (Hanging Houses), and cobbled streets charm the toughest cyclist.

From here, we set out on our final mission to La Ciudad Encantada, a magnificent natural landscape where we will recover Conan’s sword.

…Did I mention that Conan The Barbarian was filmed there?
