I am looking at booking a biking holiday in Spain in October, It will probably be either with SeasonallyUNadjusted or Sierra cycling, does anybody have any experience with these companies?

thanks

I have spent a day with each

S.C.

Season             

Switchbacks      

Freeride/switchbacks and I think Ciclomontana(?)all ride in the same area of the Sierra Nevada.

If/when I go again I`m probably going with Joyriders. Partly because it is closer to Malaga for transfers. Just over the hr versus 2+ for switchbacks etc. Thats IF you get picked up and leave straight away and don`t have to wait on another flight!!!.

I did day trips with Jim @ Seasonaly and Alan/Matt @ Sierra because I booked a holiday on the Costas with my wife. I used the trains/buses & taxis to get around.

As Juan says/asks...what type of riding are you after?

Sierra have some nice Kona bikes for hiring btw. They can also cater for the dh`er. There is a cable car above malaga with lots of local rides apparently.

Was also thinking going in Oct...24th..ish

Two trips to SeasonallyUNadjusted. Great. Would send my mates.

Loads of flowing trails and some pretty technical stuff if you want it.

If you like good food and beer the the providers that are up in the hills are best, local produce and decent beer. If you fancy some nightclubbing=sierra cycling

just back from travel agents pricing flights to Malaga for Oct.

Cheapest = £150/per?????????????????????? Then holiday on top of that!!!!

My flights have turned out very expensive, nearly 300 euros, I should have booked it earlier, could have goy them for at least 100 euro less a couple of months ago.

There seems to be a few one off posters recommending Spanish mtbing holidays recently, I wonder if its the companies themselves.

Not that I'm cynical mind you.

Have a look at the reviews section for the various Spanish companies MSP. If you have any doubts compare with say Alp Active. Most Spanish reviewers give 100% and have no avatar - Freeride Spain was the exception amongst the ones I looked at when I vaguely thought of going.

It may not be the owners but simply satisfied guests they've persuaded to join BM to post a review. Either way, the reviews I value are from people I've seen on a few threads. There's definitely one genuine review on El Toro Loco, see if you can guess which one it is.
