Countries Visited: Spain
Fabulous descents, scenic climbs and optional singletrack in the forests and mountains of The Picos de Europa
The Picos de Europa National Park is home to a small but spectacular range of jagged limestone mountains. Our base in the village of Arenas de Cabrales gives access to some incredible off-road biking. We ride excellent forest trails through the gorges, high pastures and alpine meadows of Spain's first National Park. Most tracks we follow are a mix of hard-pack sand and gravel with singletrack sections and the occasional quiet tarmac road. The region is mountainous, and while there are some long climbs, there is a downhill bias with the highlight being over 2000m of descent along the Picos Traverse. From sweeping descents on fast trails to the flower-rich meadows of the foothills, our route allows you to appreciate some of the most impressive mountain scenery in Spain.
