Your adventure starts here!

Pure Mountains offers boutique mountain bike, gravel bike and hiking holidays in Andalucía, in the south of Spain.

We have been creating elemental, wilderness experiences since 2005.

From the lofty slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains, to the vast expanses of the southern deserts, you’ll explore exhilarating tracks and trails, with mountain and Mediterranean views.  During your stay, you’ll enjoy real local hospitality and delicious food and drink. This is España vacía, empty Spain, which is working hard to attract more visitors, as part of the strategy to combat rural depopulation.

On our centre-based trips, you stay at our fully-staffed, rustic-luxe lodge. On point-to-point tours, you stay in charming, rural hotels, guest houses and caves.

Our team of dedicated guides, drivers, mechanics, chefs and housekeepers makes sure that you are superbly looked after throughout your holiday.

We take care of everything, so that you can just enjoy the adventure.

Our all-inclusive mountain bike, gravel bike and hiking holidays include:

  • Small groups, with expert guides who tailor the riding/hiking to suit you. Our guest to guide ratio is a maximum of four to one.
  • On mountain bike holidays: stunning, natural trail/enduro riding on the best mountain bike trails in southern Spain.  On gravel tours: carefree riding on endless, deserted dirt roads which are becoming known for the best gravel riding in Europe. Hikers enjoy ancient routes traversing the mountains and valleys.
  • Four wheel drive vehicle support throughout the day.
  • Tasty, home-cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner, using local ingredients.
  • Málaga airport transfers.
  • Bike workshop, with an expert mechanic.
  • Beer, wine, laundry service, WiFi and dog cuddling.

We also offer self-guided gravel bike tours.
