About this tour
Ride electric mountain bikes through Sierra Blanca's rugged trails and whitewashed villages, then descend into Marbella for tapas and wine. This 4–5 hour adventure covers 36 km of ancient mountain paths—most of it off-road—with assisted climbs that make steep terrain manageable. You'll need moderate fitness and basic bike handling skills, but the e-bike does the heavy lifting on ascents. Finish at a local bodega with food and a drink alongside your guide.

What to expect
Your guide briefs you on the e-bike mechanics and safety before you head into the hills. You'll climb steadily for roughly 2.5–3 hours, using the motor assist on steep pitches while navigating switchbacks through forest and scrubland. The pace is moderate but unrelenting; your legs will work, especially on technical terrain. You'll stop at one or two whitewashed villages for views and breath. The return is mostly downhill—technical in places but manageable if you've ridden off-road before. Back at sea level, you'll roll into Marbella and spend the final hour at a bodega sharing a tapa and glass of wine with your group.
