Sierra Nevada Road Cycling Tour – The Road Loop

High-mountain road cycling across Spain’s Sierra Nevada.
Hotel to hotel. Bags moved. Proper mountain days.

What Is the Road Loop?

The Road Loop is our fully supported Sierra Nevada road cycling tour, built for riders who love long climbs, high passes and quiet mountain roads.This is not a resort stay. It’s a point-to-point road cycling expedition across southern Spain.

The Road Loop is a guided hotel-to-hotel road cycling holiday in Spain, crossing the Sierra Nevada on smooth, quiet tarmac.

You’ll ride through:

✓ The Alpujarra mountain villages
✓ High-altitude mountain passes
✓ Remote Spanish countryside
✓ Long uninterrupted climbs
✓ Fast, technical descents

This is real high-mountain road cycling — sustained gradients, altitude, and big days in the saddle.

★★★★★ (5/5)

Daily moving time: 6–9 hours
