Itálica by E-Bike: Rome's First City in Spain

You'll ride 11 relaxed kilometres out of the city centre, the e-bike making the distance feel like nothing at all. Along the way, near Santiponce, the Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo comes into view — a striking 14th-century building restored in 2002 and still standing watch over the plain. At Itálica itself, your guide leads you through the ruins of the first Roman city ever founded in Spain, predating even Rome's expansion across the peninsula. Wander past intricate mosaics and ancient statues, then stand inside one of the largest amphitheatres of the entire Roman Empire — big enough to make you feel, just for a moment, like a gladiator stepping into the arena. Itálica remains a genuine hidden gem, and this is one of the easiest, most enjoyable ways to reach it.
