The reviews

We hired bikes for a few days cycling around Grazalema. Over this time we tried the road bikes, ebikes and mountain bikes - all were good quality bikes and well looked after. We got great advice from the owners - Ana and Juan - on routes, and they were really friendly and helpful in general. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing trip with Juan. Two 66 year olds and we made it up the mountain! He is a patient kind and knowledgeable guide. This was was one of the best highlights Of our trip. We would very much recommend Grazalema cycling. Thank you for a great day. We could not have done it without you!!!

I went on a 90km guided tour with Ana, one of the owners. She planed and guided me through and challenging and beautiful route in the mountains around Grazalema. My wife and I also went on a 60km tour, with a road bike for me and an e-bike for my wife.

The owners Ana and Juan is very service minded and all equipment is good standard and well maintained. I can only recommend Grazalema Cycling Adventures, if I’m coming back to Grazalema I will for sure be renting my bike at their place. read less

Superb friendly, thoughtful and expert service via email and in person. Ana made sure we had the right bikes for our riding experience, recommended routes, and all the necessary equipment plus thoughtful touches eg a tiny guidebook with recommended places to eat and things to see. I’m not an experienced cyclist so was super grateful for the care. (My partner is and he was looked after well too.)

Also, I highly recommend paying attention to their food tips too. read less

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 futureReview Response:Response from the owner - 2019-07-16Hi Stephen,Thank you very much for your great review! It´s been a real pleasure meeting you and your family and helping you out with the routes and bikes. Seeing and now reading that you enjoyed the cycling so much here definitely makes it worth opening our shop earlier, and if the Spanish riders go out earlier than normal to beat the heat, than who are we to keep you from doing the same? Refuelling in Grazalema was well deserved after the routes you did, so we´re glad that you enjoyed that too. We love it that you like the roads and trails here as much as we do and we´re already looking forward to see you back. All the best for you and the family and take care! Kind regards, Juan and Ana read less

Great service, bikes & route

These guys are super friendly, helpful & knowledgeable of the area. Will go out of their way to accommodate. We rented hard tails which were in great condition and worked great. We did the route suggested by Ana along the river cross country to Mountejaque, had some lunch and headed back. Great route, nice technical detail mixed with wide sweeping road with a good mix of up and down hill. Beautiful landscape. Would definitely come back again for more mountain... read moreThese guys are super friendly, helpful & knowledgeable of the area. Will go out of their way to accommodate.

Great service! Excellent local advice, including routes, places to stop for lunch and bike mounted GPS for hire too! All in very good English. The mountain bikes we hired were in great condition, well suited to the terrain. Beautiful region to explore by bike and despite being surrounded by mountains, we were sent on a route without too much climbing!

We had a fantastic experience hiring bikes through Grazalema Cycling Adventures. I hired an e-bike to try and keep up with my boyfriend on his road bike when 7 months pregnant. Ana was incredibly helpful, giving us advice about the bike and routes before hand. Grazalema is a fantastic base to ride from, I highly recommend returning to the town from Zahara de la Sierra via Puerto de Las Palomas.Review Response:Response from the owner - 2019-05-16Thank you very much for... read moreWe had a fantastic experience hiring bikes through Grazalema Cycling Adventures.

Great service. We have just come back from three days cycling with road bikes we hired from grazalema cycling.i would highly recommend them.almost new bikes and they went out of there way to help us out with advice on the area and routes in this beautiful( and hilly!) area.

Amazing experience with electric mountain bikes. Fun technical paths surrounded by a beautiful nature. Very good service!

Great bike rental service! We rented two mountainbikes. They are new and in excellent condition. Typical cross country hardtails which work well for the conditions in the area. The great thing is that the package includes bottles, tools, helmets and most of all instructions for different routes. They are excellent and give hints for every intersection. It is really impossible to get lost. The service was super friendly and helpful! Thank you guys and good luck for your business!Review Response:Response... read moreGreat bike rental service!

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.

A great shop with service from real enthusiasts. Nothing was too much trouble, roots worked out, on board computers, advice on fitness, timing, heat etc. Full provision of equipment and discount for larger groups - and fantastic countryside.

For may years my wife and i have enjoyed a late spring cycling break in Mallorca but this year wanted to go to a different location that would combine great cycling with other nature and site seeing opportunities.

We settled on Andalucia and after looking at our options chose Grazalema and decided to simplify logistics to rent bikes from Grazalema Cycling Adventure.

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 less

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
Juan and Ana are very knowledgeable, the bikes are in top condition and well maintained. They also offer cycling tours.
We can't wait to visit again sometime read less

Really lovely people, very knowledgable and amazing equipment and advice. 100% must do if in the area

Communication was great from the start re route options to suit etc.

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.

Thanks for a super day Ana and Juan! read less

My husband & I rented bikes from Ana and Juan at Grazalema Cycling Adventures in March 2019 and went on 2 off road rides. 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. We cannot recommend this company highly enough. read less

We had a fantastic day mountain biking along one of the trails outside of grazalema. The bikes were fantastic, the trail easy to follow, and the scenery was stunning. If staying in Ronda I would highly recommend coming out to grazalema and going for a ride.

We’ve cycled this area with Ana twice before, Ana’s expertise and natural enthusiasm ensured we both, Sally (fit, enthusiastic and welcomes a challenge) and me (unfit, overweight, moderately enthusiastic but needing encouragement) had our best ever cycling experiences.

Ana’s knowledge of the regions roads and coffee stops meant we could all ride and be both challenged and rewarded while enjoying the fabulous scenery.

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. The option of electric bikes is a great option for us that are not so comfortable with hills.
Cannot recommend this enough.. we will definitely be back to try another route! read less
