The Sierra Nevada is the highest mountain range in Spain, rising well over 3000m. The range was first inhabited by the Moors and Berbers who were driven out of Granada in 1492 at the end of the Christian Reconquista, and who created a cultivated hospitable land with villages linked by paths, and with orchards and allotments watered by snow melt from the high sierra. These paths and waterways, along with trails walked by shepherds for centuries have made the Sierra Nevada a mountain bikers' Shangri-La. This Sensational Sierra Nevada Spain trip is almost a full loop of the Sierra and takes in the very best of these trails, providing a fantastic showcase of the area.
Highlights of the trip include remote technical riding on seldom-visited paths, impressive views of the Sierra Nevada’s highest peaks with testing climbs and descents on natural terrain and endless free-flowing trails through a bikers paradise. Also enjoy re-fuelling on tasty local cuisine and the beautiful white villages of Moorish origin in the dramatic Poquiera Valley.
Please note that the exact itinerary for the Sensational Sierra Nevada holiday is subject to trail conditions in the mountains. The intimate local knowledge of the guides allows the ground crew to alter the route to best suit the current conditions.
