What to expect
You'll start with a brief e-bike briefing, then head out on a mix of road and off-road sections climbing towards the Sierra Blanca. The pace is steady but manageable—the motor takes strain off uphills, though you'll still feel the work. Expect variable terrain with several descents to navigate. The group stops in Istan midway, a quiet village where you can grab refreshments and soak in rural Andalucian life. Return follows a similar trail back to base. Weather doesn't stop play, so bring layers and waterproofs.
