The Royal Spanish Cycling Federation through its Office for Transformation and Innovation has begun to carry out the first work operations within the project named "Wine Tourism Cycle of the Wine Routes of Montilla – Moriles".
This innovative initiative has the primary purpose of further improving wine tourism and cycling tourism in the geographical area of Montilla – Moriles in the southern part of the province of Córdoba, a DO wine area in Andalusia in southern Spain focused on these two locations.
AVINTUR, the managing body of the Montilla-Moriles Wine Route, is conducting the pilot project with the aim of promoting the culture of wine, with a concrete plan to deseasonalize demand and attract tourists to rural destinations in the Andalusian hinterland to enhance the wine and landscape heritage of this territory.
The Royal Spanish Cycling Federation has been in charge of developing all this and during several weeks has carried out fieldwork in places of interest such as the olive oil greenway which includes the stretch between Puente Genil and Lucena, the lagoons of Dulce and Amarga and the Royal Sanctuary of Maria Santisima de Araceli in Lucena.
Other highlights of this first research on the territory concern the Zoñar Lagoon located between Puente Genil and Aguilar de la Frontera, the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, the Castle and Roman Cisterns of Monturque, the Parish of San Mateo Apóstol, the Castle of Santaella, the Castle of Mencia and the famous Calle de las Flores
All these sites have entered the stage of the route from Moriles to Aguilar de la Frontera, through which various wineries of relevance belonging to the Montilla – Moriles Wine Route follow one another, with highlights the spectacular views of the local vineyards.
The work performed in carrying out the revisions of the previously designed routes in tracing the routes was carried out using the GPS, making video recordings, evaluating different alternatives for the routes and other tasks of verification of relevant data.
All that is framed in the so-called "Wine Tourism Experiences of Spain" project through the support granted by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism "Tourism Experience Spain" financed by the European Union through the Next GenerationEU Recovery, Transformation and Resilience plan which will improve the tourist offer and promote the development of the territory.
The creation of a network of cycle-wine tourism itineraries will develop for over 450 kilometers through the 17 municipalities that make up the Montilla-Moriles Wine Route.
The Royal Spanish Cycling Federation through its Bike Territory initiative promotes the development of infrastructures and services for cyclists throughout the Spanish territory by also betting on the creation, certification and dynamization of specialized routes for cyclists and also on the promotion of ideal destinations for cycle tourism by encouraging a more sustainable tourism related to the activity of cycling.
