There is no doubt that cycling through Southern Spain along the rugged coastal roads and paths of the Costa Tropical and up into the glorious countryside of the Lecrin Valley and the hills of the Las Alpujarras will convert you to taking two wheel trips forever.

Quiet country paths winding through the captivating landscape passing almond and olive groves exist alongside the hearty climbs in the Sierra Nevada mountains.  Without doubt the Costa Tropical de Granada is a cyclists heaven and offers a wide variety of cycling choices.

For those who want a cycling holiday that explores the Moorish legacy of the Costa Tropical,Lecrin Valley and Granada regions, the cycle route through Granada makes a perfect choice.  Passing by Arabic watchtowers, historic churches and of course the highlight of the city, the Alhambra Palace and gardens.  All mixed in with the narrow bustling streets and Arabic architecture, sun soaked squares with cafes, tapas bars and restaurants topped off by the backdrop of the Sierra Neveda mountain range.

When cycling, wishing to escape the city streets, the Costa Tropical and Granada region are well equipped to take you away from the madding crowd.  As one of Spain’s most unpopulated areas there are literally miles and miles of paths and tracks passing through the impressive hills and valleys of the Poquiera Gorge in the Las Alpujarras, and the pretty traditional villages along the valley of the Guadalfeo river.

Alternatively, for thrill seeking mountain bikers, plummet through the coastal ranges of the Sierra Tejeda plunging headlong down the winding mountain paths, hugging the hillsides with Costa Tropical and Mediterranean Sea in sight.

Bike hire and information on paths and tracks can be found in many of the towns and villages throughout the Costa Tropical and Granada region.
