- Gillian Marshall 9/04/2024We rented two amazing electric bikes from Ana at Grazalema Cycling Adventures. She responded quickly to the email request and was knowledgeable about the type of bikes we needed (since we were not experienced riders) and the route that we wanted to follow. The delivery of the bikes is a fantastic option, she arrived on time and the bikes were in perfect order, clean and well maintained. She speaks Dutch, perfect English and Spanish, so no problems at all with communication. I would definitely recommend her and rent bikes with her again. Fantastic and easy to deal with and all round good experience. Thank you Ana. Gillianread moreread less
- See Jay 9/02/2024Extraordinary service. The owner, was not only extremly quick to respond to our last minute reservation but also provided us with literally everything we could wish for, when we rented our road bikes for a week. This included blankets to protect the inside of our rented car during transport, saddles of our choice, tools, tubes, route advice. The bikes where in very good condition and we had a lot of run exporing the area.read moreread less
- Lee Marsden 8/02/2024Rented a high end road bike for a week in July. Top class service, bike delivered to hotel with pedals and saddle height as prearranged. The weather was a little too hot at 40 degrees in July to go out every day. However the scenery is out of this world and the climbs long and steady. The roads are quiet with few cars and the choice of routes in the area is extensive. Ana is full of ideas for routes for all types and standard of rider and the bike came with a full set of tools and fresh water bottles. I have rented bikes in a number of different countries and the advice and standard of service from Ana is among the very best. I will return when it’s cooler.read moreread less
- Iain McLean 5/16/2024This week we visited Olvera for 3 days cycling and exploring the beautiful countryside around the town. The bikes we hired from Ana at Grazalema Cycling Adventures were Orbea carbon and were immaculately prepared. Ana was really helpful, professional and delivered the bikes with tools, bottles, lights, a track pump and many other items. We have hired bikes all over Europe and these were superb. The area is hilly and well worth a visit...on one of Ana's bikes!read moreread less
- Kyle MacRae 5/15/2024Three of us hired road bikes for a few days of cycling in stunning Andalusia. Ana could not have been more helpful, both in the advance exchange of emails where we sent details of our bike sizing so she could set them up perfectly, and when she delivered and collected the bikes in Olvera. The bikes themselves - Orbea carbon frames with Ultegra - we're simply superb. For top service, top quality and Ana's super-helpful approach to running her business - with clearly genuine care for her clients and helping them have the best time in this wonderful region - very highly recommended! Thanks Ana - we'll be back 🙂read moreread less
- Wayne Sambrook 10/31/2022The guys were extremely helpful when we had a problem with a seat post . It was a suspension post and getting original replacement parts quickly would have been impossible, so after trying to repair the worn out unit (which proved unsuccessful due to the damage) , they persevered and found alternative parts locally and modified them to fit . Brilliant service, which allowed us to continue enjoying the great biking in the area . Thanks guys . Thanks againread moreread less

- Richard Holley 9/14/2022I cannot rate this company highly enough. Ana and Juan's attention to detail and customer service is first rate. Their attention to detail from answering questions pre booking to the accessories that come with rental bikes (charging cables for the rear light and blankets to put in the rental car to keep it clean when transporting the bike), is faultless. Ana even kindly created some routes from my rental property that fitted in my fitness and time requirements. If I could give GCA 6 stars, I would and I hope to rent a bike from them again in the future!read moreread less

Don't hesitate to use Grazalema Cycling Adventures, they provide a first class service from start to finish and go out of their way to make sure that you get the best possible experience. Great advice on routes around the amazing Grazalema region made climbing in the mountains an unforgettable day. Bike was in immaculate condition and even the smallest details were covered (water bottles, GPS mounts, mini pump, spare tubes, water points etc).

Ana and Juan couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly from the point of booking to delivering the bikes , they are really passionate about customer service. We had a small issue on Sunday with one of the bikes , nothing too serious , but a quick WhatsApp resulted in us being met close to our location so the problem could be fixed , this was above and beyond what we expected , once again thanks and we will certainly return next year as customersread moreread less
- jules kragen 6/14/2022Five stars is not enough. Don’t hesitate to book a cycling trip through them. I’ll start with the agency and then review the bikes and the riding. Ana is simply a perfect host. From first emails to excellent communication throughout our journey she was punctual thorough and flexible. Can’t say enough about the level of her customer service. This was my first time riding an electric bike and my how they have changed. The combination of age and climbing throughout the trip forced my hand. The bikes delivered. I climbed manually when I wanted and got an assist when I needed it. The bikes were in perfect condition and handled surprisingly well. I wish my chain at home was as clean as this one was. The cycling is challenging and gorgeous. The hill towns are beautiful and there were wildflowers everywhere this May. The routes we chose from those provided, yes we had options, could not have been better. And grazalena itself, what a gem. Be aware that dinner starts late in Spain, so do not slack on lunch. Food throughout was solid, sometimes great and never bad. Hotels are adequate, this is not four star country. In sum, If you’re thinking of a self guided bike trip in Europe I can’t imagine a better choice.read moreread less
- Owain Jones 5/14/2022Amazing communication from Ana and Juan, helping us with choice of route and bikes. Service and delivery of bikes to our local hotel was brilliant, with the route guide and GPS keeping us on track and seeing the local sites we wanted to see.

We were not sure what route to take as it was quite foggy in the morning and we are not experienced mountain bikers. They perfectly advised us and proposed a few suitable routes. The route is on a navigation booklet and as digital gps file I could load on my Garmin Sports Watch. This was exactly the experience we were looking for.read moreread less

It was easy to follow the tour to Villaluenga. As we had a problem with the condition of ourselves we had to call Juan and Ana and they came to oick us from the spot and drove us to the hotel. This is something we are really grateful for. All bikes (road or MTB we saw and rode) are in very good condition and are of good made. On top the rating is of course for the support given as well :-). Thanks again for this!read moreread less

We did a 10 day tour on mountain bikes (equipped with pannier racks) and they were perfect for the job as we could take them along off-road routes. They couldn't have done anything more for us.

They even opened the shop earlier than normal so we could get out before the heat became to aggressive. Nothing seemed to much trouble for them. The rides both road and mountain had breathtaking scenery and if you haven't visited Grazalema before it worth the trip for the town itself. Its very classy and beautiful, a good place to have a post ride coffee or food refueling. We can't wait to visit again sometime in the futureread moreread less

- joe m 4/18/2022Amazing Cycling Experience In An Undiscovered Part of Spain Grazalema Cycling Adventures is an incredibly smart, cool, knowledgeable cycling outfitter in a beautiful, undiscovered Spanish village. And there are so many things to love about that. It’s owned by two professional guides. One is a competitive cyclist (Ana). The other (Juan) grew up in Grazalema. They are incredibly dedicated, almost obsessively detail oriented and do everything possible to ensure you have a fantastic experience, whether it’s planning and routing an 10-day cycle tour of Andalusia (like they did for us), doing a guided ride or just renting a bike for the day. Although Grazalema is in the center of a spectacular national park popular for hiking, it has not been discovered by anyone but Spanish cyclists, despite the fact there are two amazing, jaw dropping climbs—Puerto de Las Palomas and Puerto de El Boyar. Our trip was a White Villages tour they customized for us from Antequera through Ardales, Ronda, Cartijima, Grazalema and Arcos de la Frontera. The routes were flawlessly accurate, uniformly spectacular (having ridden in the Dolomites, Girona, Tuscany and Provence, we know spectacular when we see it) and were marked with café, lunch and water stops. 99% of the miles were on well-conditioned, secondary roads with minimal traffic. And although our trip was technically self-guided, Juan and Ana managed luggage, accommodations and random requests perfectly every step of the way. Grazalema is a fantastic village (just enough going on to be interesting) so we used that as a base to do loops. They arranged for massages after one of the climbs and swung by with the van for an assist at the end of one particularly tough day. These are the perks you only expect from those wildly expensive Backroads tours, but Ana and Juan can’t bring themselves to say “no”. The bikes were new, perfectly tuned Orbea Orcas. Apologies if this is all too much information because you just want to rent a couple of e-bikes. But don’t worry, Juan and Ana can hook you up with those too.read moreread less
- BenhamParty 9/14/2021An absolute must do experience I booked my two guided cycling tours a year in advance directly with Ana, her written English is superb and she clearly pointed out all of the cycling options to me via email and genuinely helped to guide me towards the most suitable cycling routes given my ability and experience. I am not a regular cyclist back home in the UK but I do enjoy cycling when I have the opportunity to go so it was something I was really looking forward to. My first trip out was with Juan who I met in the store in Grazalema. On first impressions I could see that they had a good range of very modern Road and Mountain bikes available along with lots of accessories and equipment if you wanted to purchase anything. Juan had fully prepared in advance my electric assisted mountain bike and gave a good explanation of how to maximise the usage of the bike before we left their store. The scenery and landscape out of Grazalema into the national park of Grazalema and the Sierra de Zahara is absolutely stunning, Juan was helpful in pointing out the various bird and wildlife including the griffin vultures and wild mountain goats. It was a warm day and we stopped off for cold drinks and to refill our water bottles. For our second trip out, Juan came to our holiday accommodation in El Gastor and on my request we cycled a slightly shorter route of just over 40km to the picturesque towns of Olvera and Senetil. The route was equally as beautiful but probably not as demanding on my backside! Juan was great company and his English was excellent and personally I think anyone visiting the region as long as you can cycle a bike and have a reasonable level of fitness should go and experience a guided bike tour or hire bikes directly from their shop. The area is breathtaking and being on a bike you have the time and opportunity to see it in its full glory.read moreread less
- Oldmandale 10/10/2019Juan stepped up when BA let me down and left my bike in UK! I came to Ronda for a cycling holiday with my friends and BA left my bike in the UK... I missed a day of cycling and thought on a Sunday morning at 08:30, in Spain that there woudl be no hope of getting a hire bike.
I spent half an hour on the web and came across Grazalema Cycling Adventures, called them, explained my situation and Juan said he could have a bike with me within 45 minutes.
WOW - what a service! I spent a day on one of their bikes with my friends, rather than alone in the villa. We even stopped for lunch at a fabulous restaurant in Grazalema and Juan popped in to say hello.

We settled on Andalucia and after looking at our options chose Grazalema and decided to simplify logistics to rent bikes from Grazalema Cycling Adventure.
From our initial enquiry the attention and customer service provided by Ana was exemplary. She provided all the information we needed and made everything easy.
When we picked up the bikes the little touches like offer of pump, lock and blankets to protect hire car from the bikes in transit set them apart from other companies we have used. they had also sourced time pedals and a Fizik saddle which save bringing my own.
The bikes were good basic Orbea road bikes in as new condition.
As a cycling location the area deserves much more recognition as the mountainous region offers some great climbs through stunning natural scenery and many route options taking the picturesque white towns the region is known for (though don't expect any flat routes!) At the time we visited the mountain roads were very quiet with for long periods of tome only the vultures circling rather ominously overhead for company!
All in all it was a great week with enough left undone that we hope to return again next year.read moreread less - stubbs132 7/14/2019Amazing rides Grazalema cycle hire is a top notch operation. Even before we set foot on andalusian soil i received lots of email correspondence from Ana with lots of advice about the routes available from Grazalema and the surrounding areas. Pdf files included.
Juan and Ana dropped off and collected road bikes to and from our holiday accommodation. The roads are a dream to ride and the two visits we made to Grazelema to hire mtb's from the shop itself and then riding the trails were also great and the scenery was beuatiful.
If you haven't been the Grazalema itself before its worth the visit alone, its a classy town and a great place for post breakfast and coffee

Arranged for a ride for myself and a friend, with Juan our guide for the day. Juan brought the bikes to us in Gaucin and we did a great circuit of 55km or so on mostly quiet back roads, through cork forests, a couple of villages and countryside. The area is hilly but the grades aren’t crazy.
Our bikes were as new and in great condition, they also provided helmets and had the bikes ready with our different pedal clip systems (road and MTB cleats). Juan was a great ride leader and a passionate local to chat with on the areas history.

The first was a full day guided ride with Ana and the second a GPS guided ride on our own.
Both were an amazing experience in the beautiful hills around Grazalema.
We booked before we left the UK and Ana took great care to plan & customise the rides to our specification with the right combination of challenge, technical skill, length & climb. The hard tail Orbea bikes we rented were fantastic and set up to our individual specification.
We rode through breath taking scenery over varied terrain, at times up breath taking hills with superb support and guidance from Ana. She not only guided us safely through areas unknown to us, but coached us gently and kindly on our cycling techniques & skills and told us lots of interesting facts about the local area. She is a great guide but also a very strong accomplished cyclist herself both on & off road. At one point, when I was struggling with a climb, she cycled alongside and pushed me up the hill!
Overall, her attention to detail was awe-inspiring. Prior to our GPS guided ride, she gave us tips and advice on what to look out for, including to look out for a couple of over friendly sheep dogs.
Ana & her partner Juan run their business together and it is based in Grazalema village. Ana is Dutch but is also fluent in English &Spanish. Juan is a Grazalema native but speaks excellent English. Their skill and knowledge of on & off road cycling combined with their customer care is an absolute recipe for success.

This is an incredible way to discover this beautiful part of Andalusia.. situated at the foothills of the Sierra del Pinar mountain range, you'll be cycling up and down undulating roads which twist and turn through a beautiful scenic landscape.
