| 'BEST BIKING TRIP YET' |  | Strengths:
Varied trails
Great guide, really knowledgeable about area and locals!
Local tapas and bars
Accommodation and local shop next door
Proximity to Granada
Belly dancers | | Weaknesses:
None really, the local lager can get a bit dull. 12 identical varieties of Alhambra is 11 too many for anyone.
Watching Shaun clear the trails on a hardtail might not be good for your ego... | | Overall:
Fantastic trip with Shaun and Csilla. There's a real variety of riding around Monachil. Riding to the top of Veleta (and back down again, quickly...) was a highlight, as was the techie, rocky singletrack we rode on the last day. Shaun likes a climb, if you dont, let him know! The accommodation is excellent, with a supermarket and bar next door. Well stocked with magazine, DVDs etc, not that you will need them. Local bars all serve up tapas with each drink, and the guide will be happy to share a bite and a bevy with you. We've been on several trips in Spain and this was definitely the best yet, we'll be back next year.
Very relaxed riding and stay with a company with roots firmly in the area and no pretences. |
