On 2 August 2009, the Oberver's Escape supplement published the authors' favourite selection of sustainable and interesting Mediterranean holidays which included 'Cycle the Alpujarras' featuring Pure Mountains:

"Pure Mountains have spent five years scouring the land and know the best routes and places to stop for picnics - where you'll be met by a Land Rover with all the necessary supplies. Choose a harder trip and you'll be pedalling for six hours a day, negotiating rocky trails and climbing into the peaks of the Sierra Nevada above Granada. The scenery is nearly always dominated by the snowy peak of 3,497m Mulhacén."

Guardian Travel, Winning Reader's Tip, July 2009

"Pure Mountains offers biking holidays in the stunning Parque Natural de Sierra Nevada. The riding is fantastic with loads of swooping single tracks past flower-filled meadows, the scent of wild herbs in the air. The guiding is excellent, with well thought out routes tailored to the group's abilities. Tim and Jenny's patience is second to none and thanks to them I can now do switch backs! Not forgetting the luxury accommodation - their remote cortijo sits at 1,700m offering stunning views of the villages and valleys of the Alpujarras - great, hearty meals, Land Rover support, picnics en route and an amazing location. The combination of biking, accommodation, food and guiding is the best I have come across. And, at the end of the day, their sunny terrace is the perfect place for a much-deserved beer. Tim and Jenny look after you so well in every aspect of the holiday."

The Guardian chose this review by a Pure Mountains' guest as its Winning Reader's Tip in Escape on 4 July 2009.
