Between us, we\u2019ve explored every corner of the Serran\u00eda de Ronda and the surrounding natural parks. Wayne is a fully qualified British Cycling Level 2 Mountain Bike Leader, with a knack for finding quiet trails and hidden viewpoints that don\u2019t appear on any tourist map. I (Heather) come from a background in marketing and hospitality, and I\u2019m also British Cycling\u2013trained for MTB rides. I lead many of our walks and keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes so our guests can simply relax and enjoy their adventure.<\/p>\n<p>From our base in Ronda, we offer both guided and self-guided experiences in hiking, mountain biking, road cycling, and e-biking. Whether you want a leisurely single-day outing or a multi-day holiday linking white villages, famous towns and mountain ranges, we\u2019ll create a route that keeps you away from traffic and crowds, allowing you to immerse yourself in the scenery and local culture.<\/p>\n<p>For self-guided guests, we design detailed topographical maps, downloadable GPX files and give acess to mobile phones apps for navigationthat which highlight unmarked pathways and include our own tips and notes from years of exploring. On our guided days, we provide minibus support to reach quieter trailheads and to be there if anyone needs a lift. Our rides and walks range from easy family-friendly routes\u2014like the scenic Via Verde\u2014to more technical MTB singletrack or challenging road climbs. For multi-day tours, we arrange accommodation and handle luggage transfers so you can focus on the journey itself.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, we\u2019ve been recognised in regional tourism awards and have built a reputation we\u2019re truly proud of. Our guests often tell us they love our local knowledge, well-planned routes, and warm, friendly approach. For us, it\u2019s not just about getting from A to B\u2014it\u2019s about sharing the joy of discovering this incredible part of Spain and helping you create memories you\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n","image_1":false,"client_review":"","why_we":"","history":"","image_2":false,"image_3":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.6 -
