Day 1 – From Lorca to Águilas: Mountains & Mediterranean Trails

We kick off the tour at 10:00 AM from our base in Lorca, heading straight into the wild mountains that surround the area. The morning ride takes us through a mix of flowing singletracks, technical climbs, and scenic ridge lines with spectacular views over the Guadalentín Valley.

As we make our way south, the landscape gradually opens up to reveal the Mediterranean coast. Expect dry riverbeds, rocky sections, and fast open trails as we ride along the cliffs and valleys that overlook the sea.

After a full day of pure enduro riding, we descend into the coastal town of Águilas and check in at the Hotel Don Juan around 5:00 PM. Time to relax, enjoy the sea breeze, and get ready for another epic day tomorrow.

Day 2 – Águilas to Palomares Loop: Championship Trails & Coastal Views

We leave Hotel Don Juan for a circular route through one of top enduro zones. Riding parts of the Spanish Enduro Championship course, the day offers a mix of fast trails, rocky climbs, and forest singletracks.

As we climb the mountain ranges above Águilas and Palomares, stunning views of the Mediterranean open up. The terrain includes dry riverbeds, loose rocks, and flowing tracks that will challenge and reward every rider.

We return to Águilas in the afternoon and relax back at the hotel after another epic day on the bike.

This final stage blends coastal tracks, flowing ramblas (dry riverbeds), singletrack, and mid-mountain trails where the Mediterranean slowly fades behind you as you climb — an ideal “greatest hits” of Mediterranean enduro.

You don’t need to be an expert, but a solid intermediate level is required. The terrain includes technical sections and long days of off-road riding. While the route can’t be modified, there’s always a safe and easier line available for riders who prefer to skip a tricky part — our guides will point it out on the spot.

What kind of terrain will we ride on?

You’ll ride a mix of technical singletracks, dry riverbeds (ramblas), mountain trails, and open fast sections. Much of the route includes trails used in the Spanish Enduro Championship.

Is the motorcycle rental included in the tour?

Yes, rental bikes are available and included in most packages. You can also join with your own bike if it meets the off-road requirements.

Where do we sleep during the tour?

We stay two nights at Hotel Don Juan in Águilas, a comfortable coastal hotel where you can relax and enjoy the sea after a full day of riding.
Last night at Hotel Jardines de Lorca, just a five-minute walk from the town center and some of the best local restaurants — the perfect spot to celebrate the end of the tour.

Does the tour include riding on asphalt roads?

No, the tour is designed to be 100% off-road. We only cross or briefly connect trails using small asphalt sections when necessary. If the whole group keeps a good pace and adapts well to the terrain, there’s little to no need for road riding, except for a few short links between trails.
