We are based in Málaga, in a large and lovely town called Alhaurín de la Torre. It’s a beautiful place located just 15 minutes from both Málaga city center and the coast. The town offers plenty of restaurants, bars, and other activities to enjoy beyond biking. We’re surrounded by mountains and only 5 minutes away from the nearest MTB trails, making it the perfect base for riding and relaxing.

Alhaurín de la Torre offers a wide range of activities besides mountain biking. You can enjoy a zip line adventure, try clay pigeon shooting, ride the local pump track, or play golf at one of the nearby courses. There are also public sports facilities where you can go swimming, play padel or tennis, and more. It’s a great town for staying active and having fun outdoors!
