On these center-based, ride-in, ride-out adventures, you’ll explore the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains, known as Las Alpujarras, which are crisscrossed by a wonderful network of gravel roads.
Your routes will include spectacular wilderness passes, magical forest roads, beautiful valleys and traditional villages. There will be demanding climbs and exhilarating descents. You’ll pass through a variety of micro-climates on the way. The average day is about 50km in length, with 1000m of climbing and descending. Being centre-based, unlike a point-to-point bike trip, you’re not under time pressure to get to the next place and you don’t have to unpack and pack more than once!
The surfaces range from fine to chunky gravel and some tarmac/asphalt. We recommend a gravel bike with at least 40mm tyres. A good alternative is a hardtail mountain bike.
On the guided trips, our professionally-qualified guides specialize in tailoring the rides to your abilities, which they can do because of the small group size and their intimate knowledge of these mountains. Our guest to guide ratio is a maximum of four to one, which our guests love.
