Four Seasons In Four Days - Trailriding In Southern Spain Print E-mail
Written by Goba   

Many European and UK off-road riders, like in most western countries, are facing the common problem of having nowhere to ride. Forest trails are being closed, and as the population rapidly increases rural areas that were once home to many a trail loop are now being built on as the demand for housing rages … Sound familiar?

One solution to their problem is – boarding a budget airline, there’s many to choose from, and taking a one to two hour flight to southern Spain where trail riding options are served like a four-course meal – meaning, a few days spent riding up, down and around the Spanish hills leave you feeling so full you can hardly move, especially after the single trail desert-course that climbs high across mountain ranges offering views to die for.

The tour company leading the way with the finest menu in southern Spain is Redtread, and whether you’re coming from Europe, Australia, America, or any corner of the globe, they can serve you up platefuls of action – for you, your mates, and family to eat-up by the spoonful.
