From the south, Los Pedroches is a 50-minute drive from the provincial capital, Córdoba. To get there, take the N-432 road towards Badajoz, then turn off onto the N-502 towards Almadén, until you find the crossroads that will take you to Pozoblanco via the A-435 road.
From the north, the best option is to take the A-4 to Puerto Lápice, then the A-41 to Puertollano, and the N-420 to Azuel/Cardeña, a town that is already a WayPoint for the three Al-Ballut routes. We remind you that although the routes start in Pozoblanco, being circular, you can start in any of the towns.

Los Pedroches has an High Speed train (AVE) station (Villanueva de Córdoba – Los Pedroches) on the line that connects Madrid with Córdoba/Seville. Getting the train to stop at this station has been a very important claim of all the residents of the region, who today continue to defend it against the shortage of schedules and the difficulties that this entails to enhance the usability of the train. The platform that fights for this right is called Que Pare el Tren en Los Pedroches. You can find out more about her on its facebook page.
Arriving by High Speed train to the Al-Ballut routes means that you can get off the train in the middle of the Al-Ballut route, an incredible advantage that makes it even easier for travelers coming from further afield. At the same time, this option is proof and demonstration of sustainability. The train + bicycle combination resolves journeys with a very low carbon footprint, which is why we believe that promoting it in the tourism and sports field is also a commitment to the future.
Unfortunately, the train in Spain still does not understand bicycles very well when it comes to placing them in the wagons, as there are very limited spaces to leave bicycles and there are many restrictions when traveling with them: You practically have to disassemble it and pack it for get on the train. It is a request from all cyclists in Spain and the world that access be facilitated.
And after this little plea, which we hope you understand, we leave you the Renfe website to check the timetables, as well as the rules for traveling with your bike on a Renfe train.
