Mountainbike El Chorro

Sun, lakes and singletrack. Forget package holidays, golfers and ex-pats hiding from the winter, the region of Andalucia in Soouther Spain has some of the finest and most reliable mountain biking in Europe.

Gifted a fantastic climate for year round riding, cheap flights into Malaga affordable acommodation, the rural landscape littered with trails will make even the most jaded rider grin.

El Chorro and the lake area around the Huma Mountain and Bobastro offers superb biking, including tough climbs and long descents, miles of technical singletrack, as well as more gentle trails. We use our good local knowledge to provide a customised mountainbike trail based on what you want - with a emphasis on cross country riding, rather than the sort of riding that requires body armour and full face helmets. We also try and give our clients a feel for the area in terms of natural history, landscape, history and culture.

Singletrack, classic cross-country and technical downhills - our corner of Andalucia has some of the world's best mountain biking. Add the perfect climate for year round mtn biking holidays and you get SeasonallyUNadjusted...
Ride the trails of El Chorro, Alora and the Sierra de las Nieves - relaxed offroad riding or a technical singletrack thrash down mountain bike trails littered with switchbacks. From epic cross country, testing rockgardens and some of the most swoopy, flowing singletrack the planet has to offer, we have the best mtb trails for every holiday mountain biker who wants easy access sunshine biking all year round!

What to Bring

Most people find the gear they use for a Springtime UK day is perfect for most of the year. In the summer, don't forget it can reach 45C and it helps to dress accordingly. A camera, small rucksac and some longsleeves as well as shortsleeves to keep the sun off as well as the wind are essential, as is travel insurance (see our links page).

A reasonable spec hardtail or XC full-sus bike is ideal - we ride uphill as well as down so don't bring a bike you won't be happy pedalling against gravity... Spares such as MECH HANGER, brakepads, lube and inner-tubes (we like slime selfsealing tubes to cope with Spanish prickles) are worth bringing too. Don't forget a helmet too - no lid, no ride, simple!!!

Mountainbike Finca la Campana

 

The El Chorro Natural Park is the ideal playground for the skilled Mountain biker. Here you will find hundreds of miles of windy forest trails, as well as lots of single trails and some very technical, steep descents for the ambitious Freerider. All of this can be accessed right from the Finca La Campana. We provide a wide range of Mountain bikes and have a tool shop for quick repairs.

Although we do have some "Gran Recorridos" (GR) and "Pequeno Recorridos" (PR way-marked long and short distance footpaths maintained by National and Local Authorities), the majority of our routes remain unmarked, off the map and give bermless, ungroomed "Proper Mountain Biking" utilising access tracks, ancient rights of way, goat trails, hunter's paths, ridge lines, traverses, singletrack and rockgardens. It's all totally natural, dry and dusty, steep and fast, loose and rocky and tourist free.
