Cycling day trip from Cenes de la Vega to Capileira

Get ready for an epic ride as you roll out from the charming little town of Cenes de la Vega! Nestled at the entrance of the Sierra Nevada, it's the perfect start point for an adventure into rugged beauty. This cycling route stretches just over 100 kilometers and is mostly off the beaten path, with a good mix of gravel and tracks making up the terrain—perfect for those who love the crunch of gravel under their tires and the freedom of more rustic trails.

As you ascend, enjoy the stunning views that the Sierra Nevada offers, climbing up to a max elevation of 2235.35 meters. There's a good climb involved with over 4500 meters gained, but every pedal stroke is worth it as you take in breathtaking vistas and crisp mountain air. Despite the challenge, the final destination, Capileira, promises a reward that's second-to-none.

Capileira is a quaint village perched high on the slopes. It's one of the higher settlement villages in Spain and offers a warm welcome with traditional Andalusian hospitality. With its cobblestone streets and whitewashed buildings, it’s the perfect spot to relax and reflect on your adventurous journey. So, gear up and enjoy the ride!
