The first day's ride takes you to Ronda, a picturesque clifftop town that will be our base for 3 days. As you make your way towards Ronda, through undulating hills and valleys, you will enjoy breathtaking views of unspoiled countryside and the mountain sierras that surround Ronda.

For the next three days, you will explore the mountains, natural parks and villages that surround Ronda. Our expert guides will lead you along mountain paths, and dusty trails in remote areas, as you soak in the awe-inspiring vistas of the natural landscapes around you. Visit quaint villages and hamlets, where you can stop for a quick break and experience authentic Andalucian life.

Your final day's ride takes you through the Sierra de las Nieves National Park, a protected area of awe-inspiring mountains. This is a unique and unforgettable mountain biking experience, riding remote tracks through pine and cork oak forests, with fabulous views throughout. The ride culminates in a long descent to the beaches of the Costa del Sol, where you can relax in the warm Mediterranean sun. Your final night is spent on the coast, where you can unwind and reminisce about the exciting journey you have just experienced. The next day, bid farewell to your fellow riders and take with you the memories of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

e-MTB Riding in Spain

We love how electric bikes have allowed more people to enjoy mountain biking. e-MTBs allow any rider to extend their limits and tackle hills that they could not on a regular MTB. If you are not sure about your bike fitness, please talk to us about our e-MTB holidays.

If you are a seasoned eMTB rider and want a bespoke experience we can create group e-MTB holidays, with an itinerary of superb, e-MTB-specific rides.

Read more.....Ride electric mountain bikes on more challenging rides and have a specific range of rides designed for the e-MTBs with longer distances, more technical sections and ascents that we normally avoid on our regular mountain bike rides.  The choice of an electric mountain bike opens up a whole new world of mountain biking in Spain, the mountains and natural trails become a bigger playground for avid mountain bikers.
