Weekend Escape

 
  Possibly the greatest singletrack in Spain has been uncovered in The Marina Alta Mountains of southern Valencia. Since we began our trips here in 2000 we’ve hosted journalists from the biggest UK magazines and they all said the same thing – this place is fantastic!

What sets this region apart is the huge network of Mozarabic trails that cross it in all directions. These ancient trading routes were carved out of the mountain sides for donkeys, then over the years many became overgrown. Unlike other parts of Spain the Marina Alta is almost totally hidden from tourists, so the trails were only cleared by our team of guides over months and years of regular hard work.

The final result – a breathtaking array of great bike rides, easily accessed from our beautiful little guesthouse located in the heart of a traditional Spanish mountain village. Not only can you indulge yourself with great riding but you can soak up the atmosphere of rural Spain, enjoy great accommodation, great food and be taken care of by some of the best guides in the business.

Tour Highlights
  • Amazing Mozarabic singletrack trails
  • Great en-suite rooms in lovely guesthouse
  • Qualified, experienced guides with good guide:client ratio
  • Stay in a rural village with traditional bars and cafes to visit
  • A real variety of superb biking, right on the doorstep
Note: We offer two versions of this tour, the
full week trip which runs Saturday-Saturday and a long weekend break which runs Thursday-Monday. We aim to use totally different rides for each trip as many clients like to return after their first Spanish holiday with us.

MBR and What Mountain Bike have praised our superb holidays in their travel features, then the endless rocky singletrack brought them out to shoot several skills features.

Each time they get sunshine, great food, and the best guiding you could ever hope for. So check it out for yourself – it looks great in the magazines, but even better in person.
