About this experience

We will meet at the Marbella marina, where we will take the electric bicycles and the necessary equipment to carry out our route. From there, we will head towards the Sierra de Marbella, from where we will go from being on the beach to a mountain pass in the blink of an eye.

Once we arrive at Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja, we will enjoy a pleasant route through one of the most important enclaves of the Betic Cordillera for the observation of intrusive rocks, diverse flora, and an important part of animal species such as golden eagles, hawks pilgrims, goats, and wild cats or roe deer.

After an electric bicycle route of about two and a half hours at an altitude of about 1,400 meters, we will return to our starting point.
