Discover Europe's Emerging Gravel Cycling Mecca

Granada is rapidly becoming the epicenter of gravel cycling in Europe, offering unparalleled routes through the Sierra Nevada mountains and the surrounding Andalusian landscapes. While Girona has long been a favorite among road cyclists, Granada's diverse terrain and authentic charm are attracting gravel enthusiasts seeking new adventures.
