The ride
From El Alquián the route rolls out toward the Sierra Alhamilla nature reserve, then on to the Río Andarax river before looping home. Of the 77.8 km, most runs unpaved, and the climbing adds up to 1991 m along the way. It's a ride that keeps moving between reserve, river and back to the start village.
