May cancellation
May is full but just had a cancellation 10th May. 10% discount if you can fill this double room.
Spring bookings
May is almost full but get in touch if you would like to join us for a week of biking in the sunny Sierras.
April Newsletter
In September we had a visit from a BBC crew who came to film us for a program called 'Living in the Sun' .
This was transmitted on March 25th. Since then interest in our holidays has considerably increased.
Due to increased costs and the weak pound we will be having a price increase from September 1st but any booking made before then will be charged at the old rate (so get booking!).
Bike Fleet
This month we have just sold our 2006 Kona Kula Bike fleet and bought 10 new season Kulas. We have also bought a couple of Kona King Kikapu models, a lightweight full susser that rides like a dream.
If you are looking to buy any Kona model and would like to buy from us, we can pre-order it for your holiday and undercut any UK price going.
We can also ship the new bikes to you from here in Spain, ask us for a quote. All our new Kulas will also be for sale, price depending on rental use.

(Our holidays for normal bikers still going strong!)
Transport
We now have 2 air-conditioned 9-seater long wheelbase Ford Transits. 9 bikers and 9 bikes are accommodated very comfortably.
Routes
We have redesigned a lot of our routes to start from high up in the mountains and finishing at sea level. Also due to popular demand, we have included in our rides, lots more single track with lots more fun riding.
Guides
Our guides are all fully qualified in first-aid and with guiding/mechanic qualifications.
Also we are often looking for extra help as guide/mechanic. Please get in touch if you are interested in a season in the sun helping out in exchange for flights, accommodation, food and some pocket money.
Mid Week Arrivals
As low cost airlines into Malaga are spreading, even better deals can be had during the week. We can accommodate any day, any time arrivals so you can save on the fare.
If you can arrive into Malaga before noon we will have you out on an afternoon ride after a 15-minute transfer to our houses. We think that’s better than having to hang around in the airport on a busy Saturday waiting for a 2-hour (or more) transfer.
Rambling Holidays
Due to demand we have this year introduced walking holidays.
Same winning formula but with rambles instead of rides. Enables mixed biking/walking groups to come out together or take a day or two off the bike to go on our walks.
Summer Holidays
If you would like to rent a beach house for a normal summer beach holiday see our www.holidayrentalspain.com.
Peak Periods
April, May, June then September and October tend to fill up quickest. Other months we can accommodate more easily late bookings and long weekends.
Accommodation
We have fitted top quality air-conditioning/heating in all our bedrooms to ensure maximum sleeping comfort.
Flights
Easyjet and lots of other cheap flight companies are now offering some incredibly low fares down here to Malaga. Why not take advantage of them for some super biking in the sun?
(See our links section for details).
If you bring your own bike put it in a box or bag, Easyjet are refusing unwrapped bikes. Also paying for a bike costs around £35 and increases your luggage allowance from 20kg, to only 32kg so be careful with what else you pack!
Softies Week
For those bikers interested in seeing our fantastic mountains and valleys without too much effort we have designed a week of excursions with the emphasis on flattish rides and those with a downhill bias.
This will include a two-day trip in the white villages in the Ronda Mountains - 75km, with not a single hill to climb. Our route follows a disused railway track with 30 tunnels and 5 viaducts through a river valley and past a vulture sanctuary plus fabulous views along the way.
We will spend the night in a nice hotel and sample some typical Spanish mountain food in the evening. The return trip will include a stop in Ronda to look round. There will be a £30 surcharge to cover hotel and evening meal.
