Have an adventurous holidays cycling in South Spain

We run our holidays from two spacious beach houses on the seafront near the lively town of Fuengirola. This makes it possible to enjoy the contrast of the isolation and beauty of the mountains during the day with the varied nightlife of this cosmopolitan town in the evening. There are literally dozens of fantastic restaurants to choose from.

Itinerary / Highlights

Itinerary -Typical Weeks Activities
No two weeks are ever the same, depends on the group’s stamina and wishes.

Saturday
If you arrive before midday there will be time to get the bike ready and then have an afternoon ride round our local tracks.

Sunday
Guided ride round the Cerros del Águila "Hills of the Eagles", a scenic area of undulating tracks and paths right on our doorstep. We have technical steep sections and singletrack or gentle fire roads meandering through the pines - your choice. Halfway stop by the beach for coffee and cakes.

Monday
Tour around some hidden mountain valleys at the end of which is a mega long switchback descent followed by a swim in a natural lake with waterfall. (A bit cold in winter but great from April onwards). Second half 25km flowing descent to the beach from 320m above sea level.

Tuesday
Drive up to the mountain village of Mijas for the start of the ride 450m above sea level. First half is a super long descent on single-track and paths to the sea level. Then a choice of more hill climbing or flattish second half.

Wednesday
Days rest from biking. Why not visit the historical city of Granada or Malaga or try a mountain walk, tennis, golf, surfing, horse riding, dolphin-watching on a yacht or perhaps just sunbathe by the pool or on the beach.

Thursday
We drive into the Montes De Malaga National Park where the mountainous scenery and wildlife are superb. The first half of the ride is a guided loop followed by an outdoor lunch in a typical mountain restaurant. The second half is a mega 25km descent from 1000m above sea level through the forest on dirt paths or rocky singletrack to be met by the minibus at the bottom.

Friday
We drive 15km to a forest near Alhaurin where there is loads of fun single track through the woods. Second half after lunch 25km flowing descent to the sea.

Saturday
If you are leaving after 4pm we will have a morning ride around our local single tracks before the trip to Málaga airport for flight home.
