In the afternoon we tackle some technical sections before making our way through the pass of Zafarraya and finally to the amazing plateau of the Sierra Gorda de Loja.

We will get to the hotel in Loja at around 5pm so you have time to relax, enjoy a beer, and take a swim before dinner.

Day 2

For your second day, breakfast will be served at 8.30am and we will be away from the hotel straight onto the trails for 10am after a hearty breakfast.

We start up back on the Sierra Gorda de Loja but head east towards Santa Cruz, going up hill and down dale, through olive groves and experiencing massive vistas for miles, we then drop in to the riverbed and stop at Alhama de Granada at the hot springs. A little further on we go over the dam of the ‘Embalse de los Bermejales’ lake before stopping for another lakeside lunch.

The afternoon has some amazing riding, with a brilliant wooded section around the lake, followed by a fast flowing technical section, then a slower technical section, before another fast flowing trail. For those with the energy and skills we can also throw in an optional hard river loop at this point before finishing with some more open trail and amazing open vistas. Until we get to our fantastic hotel in the village of Lanjaron. Where you have time to relax and to enjoy a beer, take a swim, and chill out before dinnertime. The optional hard river loop will be down to the discretion of the guides.

During the day we will stop at intervals so you can take drinks onboard and we take photos throughout the day, we will also check you’re ok!

Day 3
Breakfast is at 8.30am, we will leave the hotel at 10.00am again, heading back across the lake to pick the trails  through the mountain pass of Guájar Alto, with up hills and descents in deep shale and hard packed rock you come to the probably the best view in the world. We then head down in the direction of the coast, stopping for lunch and fuel in a typical Andaluz white pueblo.

After lunch we start our return back to Nerja down a dried up riverbed.

Normally we will be back at base for around 5.30pm so you have time to relax and top up with a complimentary piece of homemade cake, enjoy another beer, take a swim and chill out.

Breakfast on day 4 is from 8.30am or earlier if you required. You’re free to take it easy before heading back to Malaga Airport or maybe do a little sight seeing if you have an evening flight. We don’t put a check out time on our rooms so you’re free to keep the room as long as you like*.
