Ride inland from the Costa Blanca coast on a 55 km mountain bike loop through citrus fields, pine slopes, and technical S2 singletrack. Expect 5–6 hours, a tapas break in a small Spanish bar, and 850 m of climbing between dry riverbeds and tight ravines.

The first pedal stroke leaves the coast behind: a ribbon of singletrack climbs out of citrus groves, pine scent sharpening as the valley opens. Dry riverbeds carve the hills into tight bends and short climbs; you push through a mix of fast-flowing trail and rougher S2 sections that demand attention and bike control. By midday the group slips into a small Spanish bar in the hinterland for cold drinks and tapas — a clear change from sunburn and sweat to shade and conversation.

Geology here is limestone and eroded marl; the steep-sided ravines (barrancos) form the technical pitches and the short, punchy climbs that make this ride feel compact but demanding. Culturally the route passes working farmland and old irrigation features: a 19th-century cistern and an Arab-era well still mark how water shaped local settlement and agriculture.
Practical details: expect about 55 km and 850 m of climbing over 5–6 hours including breaks. Trails include S2 singletrack—some flowing, some rocky—so a good level of fitness and confident bike handling are required. Guides arrange drinking and photo pauses and plan the midday tapas stop.
Plan for variable surface: harder when dry, slick after rain. Hydrate well, carry tools and a spare tube, and ride conservatively through farm crossings and narrow ravines. Timing your ride for morning starts avoids hottest hours and gives better traction on north-facing sections. The loop offers real Costa Blanca contrast — citrus-lined fields, pine slopes, and technical singletrack that keeps the pace honest while rewarding with wide inland views.
Yes—the tour provides a full-suspension MTB (Remedy) along with a helmet and a water bottle as listed in inclusions.
Trails contain S2-rated singletrack—intermediate technical features with some loose rock; riders should be comfortable on varied terrain and able to dismount for very rough sections.
