Style

Based in three large houses on the sea front near Fuengirola, with trips to various nature parks and the local Sierras. There are different off-road fully guided tours daily, most days stopping at a Spanish inn for lunch. All tours are adaptable to the wishes of the participants and have a minimum of three guides to ensure all levels are catered for week-long itineraries include one rest day, and there are plenty of activities for those not wanting to cycle, such as horse riding or dolphin watching. Most popular months are mid February to late June and then September to late November because of the heat of high summer.

Accommodation

Three beach houses with modern air conditioning in each bedroom. There is also a large swimming pool and gardens. The operation is also associated with a sports club with squash, tennis, gym sauna, and aerobics at a discount. Houses have free internet access.

Age accepted

From ten years though some of the hill rides might be a bit demanding with ‘soaring climbs and bone-shaking descents'.

Bikes
