Mountain biking in Malaga?

[orange71]

So I've been coerced into a family holiday in Malaga this summer. I don't do beaches, I don't do cities and I don't do heat :evil:

So to salvage something from this, does anybody know any good mountain bike routes in the area. I will have access to a car (thankfully).

Good places to hire a bike? Good places to ride, preferably in the mountains where it's cooler?

cheers

Are you ginger?



When i used to read mbuk there used to be holiday adverts for routs/guids and what not, maybe try to find a place like that?

Can't help with routes but there's tons of good stuff in the hills around Mijas, Alhaurin el Grande, Coin etc. Best would be get dropped off in the hills and get picked up on the coast.

Just back and had a hell of a good time. You should make use of some time on the roads or in the hills.

I did the tour in the link above 30mls, up to 4000ft lots of climbing and downhills nothing technical but hugely enjoyable. Beware though can be 10degrees hotter in the hills. It was 90degrees when I rode this.

I then kept the bike another 4days, it is well worth it.

As much as Arran is tempting the wife would likely stand out a bit too much in her bikini (bad pun)
