Axarquia & Alpujarras Guided Tour

Malaga is served by most most European airlines: Air Europa, Air Lingus, British Airways, Easyjet, Iberia, Ryanair & Vueling plus many more.

Most airlines will take your bike (in a box) for a fee.

We can also recommend Sherpr.

We meet & greet you (If you want us to). Free transfers are available as a group transfer.

Remember, if you can attend it we have a group meal at 19.30 on the eve of departure.

So if you are arriving earlier you have time to do some site seeing.

Sorry all good things must come to and end!

On the day we finish cycling you stay the night at Gijon. We have our last meal together.

The next morning we transfer you back to the airport. (surcharges apply for Bilbao)

A good level of fitness is important, but you certainly don't need to be super fit. The fitter you are and the more training that you do before hand will add to the enjoyment of your tour. Our tour leader cycles at the back of the group so that you won’t be left behind if you are worried about cycling too slowly. Everyone is different the group will be a mix of abilities. You should be able to cycle with others of a similar ability. Some will like to cycle fast, others slower and take in the sites and even stop for a historic site or two. Stopping for coffee or to take photos is really up to you. We will give you a nudge though if we think time is ebbing away on some of the longer days.

We also have the famous 'Broomwagon' which will sweep up anyone that can't go any further, find they just haven't got the legs that day or have taken too long site seeing. Our only rule is the first one to use the Broomwagon buys a round of drinks!

Each group is different but generally we are all like minded. There will be people of all ages and from all walks of life.

There are always a few older riders although and a mix or other ages including younger riders. Our group size will be a maximum of 18.

This means we should have a diverse and varied group of people, the group will be split 50/50 between people travelling alone & people that travel as a pair. There will be plenty of people to socialise with throughout the day and in the evening.

Your bags will be in your room waiting for you, we try to arrange days so you have time to explore the new destination.

You should have chance for some time to relax, have a shower etc before the evening meal. We usually arrange somewhere to eat for the evening meal so that we can all get together and you won’t be left alone (unless you want too).

Your baggage allowance is one main piece of luggage per person, a standard suitcase size of 70 x 45 x 30 cm is ideal other than your bike and a small sports day pack. We have limited space in the vehicle therefore ask that you try to keep your luggage to a minimum.

We try and book quality accommodation in historic 'Paradores' hotels or similar. Throughout the tour we stay in 12 different towns and may need to use different locations but always try to keep everybody together and ensure the quality is best we can get.

Usually the hotels we use are in old historic buildings and are full of character. Twin or double rooms are the norm but you can always use the single supplement option if you'd rather have a room to yourself (see below). All rooms are en-suite with breakfast included.

If you are travelling as a group or couple/friend we will always ensure you are together.
If you are travelling alone you will be roomed with other members of the group (same sex) and stay in a twin (occasionally a triple) room throughout.

​Single room supplement:
This guarantees a single or double room with a private bathroom for every night of the trip
