Centuries old bridle paths and more recent forestry tracks take us daily from whitewashed mountain village to village. Alpine Summer pastures, mountain streams, ancient Moorish water channels, terraced small holdings and abandoned mountain farms, provide a window into another way of life.

This is a stunning circular trail through the east of the Alpujarras and Sierra Nevada National Park, riding over very diverse and varied terrain, 3 days at high altitude. An amazing display of Mediterranean and Alpine flowers cover the mountains in May and June.

Moving daily from place to place, the ride takes us through the lower slopes of the Alpujarras down to the almond and vine clad hills of the Contraviesa mountain range. With the drop in altitude the landscape and climate change dramatically.
