We find most guests on Pure Mountains mountain bike holidays like to get as many days cycling in as possible so we go out riding every day of your holiday. Of course, you are welcome to take a day off from biking whenever you feel like it. You may want to relax in and around the farmhouse or to explore the local area. We can also arrange the following activities
Horse Riding
Just down the way from the Pure Mountains farmhouse, Jose Miguel offers accompanied rides on his beautiful and well-schooled Andalucian horses. All standards of rider are catered for. The rides are in beautiful countryside and last from two hours to a full day. Jose Miguel speaks fluent English, Spanish and Horse. You may want to bring your own riding hat / helmet as most Spanish riders don't wear hard hats.

Walking
We can provide you with maps and suggested routes for walking in the area. There are some beautiful tracks which are inaccessible by bike but passable on foot.

Skiing
In the Winter/Spring months downhill skiing is available at the resort of Sierra Nevada. You might like to add this to the beginning or end of your holiday. Closer to us is the cross-country ski area of Puerto de la Ragua where there are marked trails and equipment hire. |

Climbing and Abseiling
We can arrange single-pitch and multi-pitch climbing outings with qualified instructors who provide the necessary equipment. |

Beach
If you have your own hire car there are several good Mediterranean beaches within reach. |

Massage
Emma Glen practices a form of deep tissue massage which is adapted from Swedish techniques. The end result is a relaxing, remedial massage geared towards the treatment of aches, pains and injuries, past and present. We can recommend Emma's massages for relief from cycling aches and pains. |
