The regular off-road rider with a decent level of fitness should relish this challenge. Days will be full of excellent biking and endurance will prove to be the key. Although riding will not be overly technical, there will be plenty to test your skills. As we head north away from the busy Costa del Sol, the true ancient land of Al Andaluz is reached. Mountain sides dotted with white villages surrounded by terraced land. You will experience true Andaluz hospitality, excellent mountain cuisine of stews, game and delicious cured meats and cheeses. Not forgetting the fantastic seafood on offer when you arrive at the Atlantic.
Riding highlights throughout this fun packed trip include the 1000 metre descent out of the Sierra de las Nieves, the thrilling ride through the terraces and olive groves to the Rio Grande, the challenge of crossing the Lifa pass with its magnificent views down to Ronda and beyond and the miles and miles of beautiful singletrack in the Guadiaro valley.
