Mountain Biking

In addition to cycling on road there is ample opportunity to venture off-road into the hills. The hills are a mixture of pine forests and cultivated land (olives, almonds, citrus fruits) and there is a huge network of tracks which allow the farmers to reach their land. In the immediate vicinity of Albunuelas it is possible to cycle to the peaks of Herrero at 1503m and Giralda at 1430m (Both higher than Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest peak).There are fantastic views here - the coast (30km away) can be seen on a clear day from Herrero and also from numerous other places in the hills.
