Hey guys, looking for a place for the wife and I to ride off road. we both like smooth flowing single track. I don't mind having to climb to get to the down hills but the wife isn't keen on it so a lift accesses trail would be good. I haven't been very many places in spain so any advice would be good

thanks

Can't recommend based on actual experience, but I've heard of a few sky resorts turned to MTB areas during the summer months: Sierra Nevada in the South, La Molina in the Catalan Pyrenees and Vallnord in Andorra.

If you go to Spain for riding, and perhaps feel a little low on leg power, you definitely should visit a pharmacy!

How funny! You are so creative and original! I admire your intelligent humour.

Really.

Seriously.
