Cycling in Andalusia – Vacationing, Cycling and lots of fun!
Welcome to Cortijo El Sarmiento,
our luxurious B&B in Mojácar, Andalusia
Located at the foot of the Sierra Cabrera and surrounded by a picturesque mountain landscape, the Cortijo El Sarmiento is the ideal base and starting point for cyclists, mountain bikers and racing bike professionals … great routes for every condition against the fantastic backdrop of Andalusia – every cyclist’s dream! …. and let me just casually mention here, the 3000 hours of sunshine a year 🙂…
In the evening, when you return to the Cortijo, exhausted and happy, a place of rest and relaxation awaits you. At the gates of Mojácar and just 10 minutes from the beach, our boutique hotel and “Adults Only” B&B is the perfect place for enthusiastic cyclists from all over the world.
Our roads
In the area around Mojácar, as a racing cyclist, you get your money’s worth. Countless possibilities of various tours with corresponding levels of difficulty; as well as untouched nature along hardly traveled roads – a real eye-catcher.
Mojácar’s streets are known for their good cycling conditions and low traffic. From bike riders to professional cyclists – all bicycle fans will find the right route here – straight, winding, mountainous, flat, and uneven. Glorious sunshine and dramatic landscapes – our region attracts cyclists who are looking for the perfect setting for many hours of bike tours. If you are planning for a long tour, you can look forward to climbs up to almost 2000 meters.
Past orange trees are full of ripe, juicy fruit, through hilly desert landscapes, and along endless olive groves with dark shiny olives. The gigantic rock formations that stretch along the steep, winding roads are breathtaking, and if the Andalusian mountains weren’t impressive enough, the palm-lined coastal roads offer the perfect contrast. On the promenade overlooking the sea, you can relax with an ice-cold beer, enjoy the fresh sea air and regain your strength with the help of a few tapas.
Cycling in Andalusia is the perfect combination of action-packed excitement and wonderful relaxation.
Mountain bikers will find their sporting challenges in the surrounding mountains, which offer everything from gentle climbs to fast-paced, difficult routes and push the body to the absolute limit.
If you’re getting wobbly knees now, and don’t think you might want to go “that far”, we can reassure you – you can also cycle very relaxed:
Take an e-bike instead and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of one of the most beautiful “white villages” in Spain and its endless coast.
Cycling in Andalusia: After the ride
If after a long bike tour, with a racing bike or MTB, a few of your bones are hurting, you can book our sauna at short notice or treat yourself to an extensive sports massage. After all, you would want to be fit for the next day and the next lap, right?
