Trail Running and Cycling in Andalucia 2009.
During 2008 we will be offering running and road cycling tours upon demand. Our experience has shown that runners and cyclists find our two centre and home base programmes just as challenging. We can cover almost the same terrain working out of Alhama de Granada and Granada and there is such a lot of scope for running and cycling through beautiful scenery, mountains, lakes and on good tracks and well surfaced, traffic free highways that the daily packing up and moving on is an added complication, ( and expense ).
The tours created some problems when riders or runners with differing abilities and requirements, often members of the same family, wanted to holiday together. For these reasons the tours, both running and road cycling, will only go ahead if requested by club groups ( 4 or more people ) who can book early enough, with a specific week ( or longer ) in mind so we can prepare a tour to suit.
Trail Running weeks :
This year we plan to be flexible with dates as we are finding that many clients enjoy mid
week to mid week dates as flights are often cheaper. So if you have period when you would
like to visit just email to check availability.
The only fixed dates are for the A lo Bestia and
also Al Andalus Ultra Trail,
( www.alandalusultratrail.com ) which requires pre entry.
A lo Bestia, ( a mountain adventure ) :
Thursday June 25th to Thursday July 2nd.
This is a special trip which is only suitable for experienced mountain / trail runners.
The week will be based in Lanjaron, ( Alpujarra ) but will include transport out to the start point. The group will need to be self sufficient as we spend two nights, " under the stars " during this 85km west-east traverse of all the Sierra Nevada peaks.
The week would be a good test for those entered in the 2010 Marathon des Sables.
€ 650 euros
Desert Runner Training Camps :
Any time between July 25th and September 3rd throughout October / early November.
Camps can be for full week or 4 days. Contact us for specific dates.
See specific section for more details.
Unless indicated stays are 7 nights.
Single supplement 15 euros per night.
Road Cycling :
Select dates to suit your programme and we will organise accordingly.
February 28th to March 7th Sportive training week ( still some places available )
Vuelta Special :
September 10th to 17th.
The 2009 race has Sierra Nevada stage finish on the 12th and following day start from Granada so a two centre week is planned to include the race.
750 euros *
* 7 night stay, single supplement 15 euros per night.

The Maroma Mountain Challenge.
Over the past 6 years I have run and walked all over the Sierra Almijara, Tejeda and Alhama planning routes for my trail running and adventure racing clients and I have built up quite a collection of excellent routes. My idea of the " Challenge " was to link a selection of the routes to make one big, achievable circuit.
