A fully escorted three-days journey designed for guests who expect substance and polish. Long enough to go further out and take more in, short enough to be the perfect excuse to treat yourself. With 4–6 hosted engagements thoughtfully scheduled between a mid-morning interlude and an afternoon encounter; considered espresso-and-stretch pauses; à la carte lunches in authentic Andalucian places; and two nights in hand-picked 4-star (or equivalent) boutique countryside hotels with elegant, sit-down dinners. Our flagship tour at Cinematic Retro Rides with a great sense of balance.
For an overview of the Experiences we curate, please see “About the Experiences” in this section.
Start from the base in Mijas grounds and only run inland on scenic Andalusian back roads through white villages, rural estates and countryside viewpoints. The focus is on discovering how this land lives — its crafts, producers, heritage and seasonal traditions — from genuine people who actually do it.
Alcoholic drinks, personal insurance and travel to/from the starting point are not included.

Cinematic Retro Rides curates hand-picked, small-group Experiences that reveal what Andalusia is truly made of—family-run vineyards with guided tastings, characterful olive mills producing exceptional extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), heritage walkabouts through white-village lanes. Expect encounters with master luthiers crafting classic Spanish guitars, insights into equestrian culture and historic bull-ranch traditions, sensory tastings of Iberian produce, breathtaking bird’s-eye view of the vast Andalusian landscapes from a hot-air ballon, visits to traditional artisan workshops, unhurried mouth-watering lunches and dinners in places full of character.
Along the way—and always escorted by your fully bilingual EN–SP guide with an eye for detail—you’ll weave in local festivals, market stops, flamenco moments, characterful coffee breaks and magnificent back scenic roads and viewpoints—thoughtful, authentic, tastefully paced.
Every touchpoint is vetted for authenticity, hosted by genuine people, and timed to the season, so every experience feels immersive, refined and unmistakably Andalusian.
Please note that most Experiences are generally run by families and small local companies. The season and local calendars can affect the options available for some Experiences. All tours are thoroughly studied, meticulously and personally hand-crafted, and planned months in advance; details are then reconfirmed with hosts closer to the tour dates.
At Cinematic Retro Rides, we believe Experiences land best as a tasteful surprise, so we prefer not to reveal full details in advance. But if you need specifics before your tour, please contact us a few weeks or days in advance and we will gladly share them.
