Gravel Adventures
We will ride through national parks full of stone pines and cork trees, and visit pueblos blancos (‘white towns’ - famous in Andalucia and Spain for all the houses being painted white, and often having flower pots in the walls with bright colored flowers which contrasted with the usually blue sky makes an unforgettable image).
Many of our routes, if not all, will involve a sea view, and we will often pass by beaches that call for a quick dip in the ocean.
We’re based slap bang in the middle of La Costa de La Luz, which means the coast of light. 45 mins south of Cadiz, one of the oldest cities in the west, and with 300 plus days of sunshine a year it’s a pretty ideal place to come ride your bike, especially in those dark days of winter.
Our rides all start and finish at home base and branch out from there to the north, south and east. To the west is all Atlantic ocean. We are constantly exploring and finding new loops, new trails, new tracks and new little ‘ventas’ to stop for a snack and a coffee.
We offer riding and trips for all levels, this isn’t the Alps or the Pyrenees although we have some amazing hills and climbs but also wondering, wandering tracks through what used to be lagoons and still is home to thousands of migratory birds on there way to or from the continent of Europe to Africa.

3 nights in our yurts, with 4 days riding (3-4 rides depending on how early people can get here on the Thursday).
2 dinners, 1 lunch and 3 breakfasts.
THE RIDING
We will pack everything we can into your long weekend trip and can tailor ride length to whatever you feel like doing, big days out, cruising and seeing the sites, visiting beaches or 100km sufferfests.
All our meals are veggie and homemade with local ingredients, and often things we go pick up from the farmers themselves.

Bring your own bike!
Bring your own bike. We’d love to have a fleet of amazing gravel rigs for you to try out here but we’re not there yet and anyway, there’s nothing like riding your own bike! We can arrange transfers from Sevilla, Jerez or Gibralter airports. If you fly to Malaga you will have to rent a car but they are cheap with malagacar.com.
Mechanicals. I’ve been in bike shops since I was a 15 year old tea boy and have had plenty of years on the tools so we should be fine if anything goes wrong bike wise, we have tools and anything we don’t have our mates down at the local bike shop are there to sort us out. We have a ‘what to bring’ list but the main one is a spare Mech Hanger! Because those things are impossible to find in a hurry.
