Almería is a big province with very different landscapes, so we have three bases. Each one has its own roads, its own climbs and its own places to see. Choose the one that fits the kind of days you want, or combine two of them if you stay longer.
Almerimar and the Poniente coast
Winter sun, the marina and real climbs that start at sea level.
- 10 loops · 63–114 km
- Beach, golf and a flat start. Easy days along the coast and big days in the Sierra de Gádor.
Berja and La Ragua
A historic town between two sierras, with a 2,000 m pass.
- 9 loops · 46–127 km
- Serious mountain days, the Puerto de la Ragua and the Alpujarra villages.
The Filabres and Calar Alto
Quiet high mountains, white villages and the road to the observatory.
- 9 loops · 44–139 km
- The quietest roads, long days and the big climbs of the north of the province.
The three areas side by side
| Area | Base | Terrain | Highest point of our loops | Best months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Almerimar and the Poniente coast | Almerimar | Coast, greenhouse plain and the Sierra de Gádor | up to about 1,000 m | October to May |
| Berja and La Ragua | Berja | Sierra de Gádor, Alpujarra and Sierra Nevada | up to about 2,045 m | February to June and September to November |
| The Filabres and Calar Alto | Armuña de Almanzora | Sierra de los Filabres and the Almanzora valley | up to about 2,150 m | September to November and March to June |
Highest points come from our own tracks. The best months are an orientation: Almería is rideable all year, and in winter the high roads can have snow and ice.
