Cycling Holidays & camp reviews

location itself is an overlooked gem
“Really supportive crew who will go the extra mile to look after you on the trip. The routes are breathtaking and the location itself is an overlooked gem amongst the more popular cycling destinations”
— Tony Lowry - Dublin - Ireland
superb and predictable weather during winter.
“The area has superb and predictable weather during winter. Great road surfaces, very little vehicle traffic and respectful drivers. Enjoy scenic roads through the mountains, along the coast. Breathtaking views and smile-inducing descents are on the itinerary as your experienced and knowledgeable guide brings you through thoughtfully curated routes.”
— Michael DeFelice - New York - USA
Mallorca is nothing compared to the Sierra Nevada
“As beautiful as Mallorca is, it’s nothing compared to the Sierra Nevada’s. Mallorca may have 2 great routes with Sa Calobra & Cap Formentor. But, they don’t compare to the dozens of fantastic routes from the doorstep of your new shop."
— Remy Wetherup - Canada.
"An Incredible Week of Cycling"
"An incredible week of cycling with stunning routes, smooth road surfaces, and challenging climbs and descents! The setup was incredibly professional, and the accommodation was fantastic. Cormac and the entire Sierra Nevada team were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish, providing top-notch support throughout the trip. This was, without a doubt, the best cycling week I’ve ever been on. If you’re thinking about a cycling getaway, bring your club—you won’t be disappointed!"
— Colm O Cuinneain, Ireland, September 2024
"Returning for the Classic Climbs"
"This is the second year I’ve stayed to ride the Classic Climbs with CSN. The whole service is crafted so well I’ll definitely return as it has so much to offer. Baize smooth tarmac and barely any traffic. No wonder the pro teams are catching on to this hidden gem. Thanks again to all the team in Velez. See you again!"
— CGL, May 2024
"Great Trip with Helpful Guides"
"Great trip, the guides were super helpful, engaging, and always providing tips on the areas as well as the routes. Food was great, nice selection of restaurants and locations. My accommodations were good as well; the apartment had all you would need with very nice, secure surroundings. Happy to return."
— Malcolm Rodgers, USA, May 2024
"Amazing Service and Roads"
"This is just amazing! The service is excellent, bikes are incredible, roads are the best I have ever cycled… if you want to enjoy great cycling holidays, go there instead of Mallorca. Special thanks to Szymon for his service! I am really happy I could spend my holidays in Velez and around."
— Jan Pavelka, Poland, October 2024
"Unforgettable Cycling Experiences"
"I’ve had two trips out to Cormac & the Cycle Sierra Nevada team last year. One in May and again in September. Both were excellent and I thoroughly recommend it as a cycling holiday destination. Routes were beautiful with challenging climbs throughout. Our guide, as well as knowing all the routes like the back of his hand, knew all the best coffee stops and across the week made sure that everyone was getting all the cycling that they wanted as well as enjoying the day's ride. Accommodation was great and in the centre of the quiet town where the shop & meeting point for each morning is located. (The free coffee at the shop before departure each day gets everyone chatting and brings everyone in the group together from day one). The group ate together most evenings so it works as a venue whether travelling solo or with friends. The airport collection & drop off was seamless and made the whole trip hassle-free. I’ll be back."
— Jerry Carroll, Ireland, 2023
stunning scenery, rich culture, and thrilling rides
“Whether you’re into smooth roads or technical gravel sections, this is cycling at its best. The stunning scenery, rich culture, and thrilling rides make this region a must-visit destination in Andalusia.”
— Maria Doering - Germany
"Exceptional Winter Camp Experience"
"I spent a week at the winter camp with Cycle Sierra Nevada in February this year. Cormac provides great conditions for accommodation at a very good price with the transfer from the airport. Room was clean and spacious with access to the kitchen and two bathrooms in one apartment. You can cook yourself or use the services of a local restaurant at a super price for dinner. Cormac proposes interesting and varied difficulty training routes. In the case of a defect, with his help, you will be able to continue training. Camp host is a great organizer, buddy and chef. You do not need to bring with you, your own bicycle and rent a very good quality in Cycle Sierra Nevada. If you do a day break in training, you can go to Granada to see the magnificent Alhambra. The persons accompanying you, will be satisfied as well, about stay in Andalusia. I highly recommend to everyone cyclists and not only, visit in Cycle Sierra Nevada!!!"
— San Martino Corridore, England, 2019
"Highly Recommended Cycling Holiday"
"I can really recommend a cycling holiday with Cycle Sierra Nevada. The routes, the bikes, the guides were all spot on. I booked their accommodation and airport transport service, and that was all great too - a nice, clean apartment a few minutes walk from the bike shop. It was a really well-provided week with most meals and evening socialising taken care of too. As a bonus, my descending skills improved over the week - perhaps next time I’ll manage to keep up with Cormac."
— Kevin Grant, Scotland, 2023
Mallorca doesn’t compare
“I’ve experienced Mallorca cycling routes, but nothing compares to the authentic charm and varied terrain of the Sierra Nevada and Granada. Every ride is a fresh surprise, and the local support is outstanding.”
— Oskar Kjærgård - Oslo - Norway

Bike Hire reviews in Granada & Malaga

"Brilliant Bike Hire"
"Fantastic service from Cormac and the team. Great communication. Efficient delivery and collection to our apartment door. A great bike in great condition. Just fantastic to be able to carve out a bit of time from a family holiday to try some of the amazing climbs in the Sierra Nevada. Pico de Veleta was my first time cycling above 3000m. Disc brakes were more than slightly helpful for a 40km descent!"
— Tloha, Saxmundham, United Kingdom, August 2019
"Great Bikes and Scenic Rides"
"Good bikes with workshop always available for any adjustments. Variety of great rides from the town, with lovely villages and cafes. The accommodation was excellent, with good views from the rooftop terrace. The village of Velez de Benaudalla has a good range of bars and shops - and we were able to buy fresh produce and self cater."
— Anonymous, 2023
"Outstanding Week of Cycling with Accommodation!"
"Traveling solo, I signed up for a week of Cycle Sierra Nevada's training camps. What a great experience! Airport transfers to and from Malaga were straightforward, bike rental was outstanding. The team got my rental bike prepared with correct measurements and installed my own saddle. Accommodations are in furnished apartments up the hill from the shop. Guided rides every day on amazing roads! The team rides at your speed and will even adjust routes if you want to do more or less on the day. Highly recommend!"
— Simon S., November 2019
"Great Service and High-Quality Bikes"
"Great service and high-quality, well-maintained bikes. The team was responsive before, during, and after the trip and always had great recommendations. Definitely some of the best rental bikes we have had a chance to use. Highly recommend!"
— Jose A., May 2023
"Amazing Cycling in Spain!"
"We had a great week of cycling in Spain with Cycle Sierra Nevada. Everything was arranged from pick up at the airport, the accommodation, and BMC bike rentals—all you have to do is show up and ride! The guides were excellent, ensuring that everyone was taken care of and that different levels of abilities were considered. Highly recommend Cycle Sierra Nevada for your next trip cycling in Spain!"
— Cathy G., Whitefish, Montana, June 2023
"Impressed with CSN"
"Having been to Majorca cycling on several occasions I was interested in finding somewhere new. I have to say I was very impressed with CSN right from the airport pick-up, to the quality of the accommodation and rental bikes, and the wide selection of routes available in the area from long days cycling in the mountains to shorter flatter days, the area around Velez has it all. Road surfaces are
