Cycling Spots around Sierra Nevada

Granada

The north face has one major road that leads to the station and the famous training centre. Cold in winter, hot in summer. The choice of pro cyclists who want to “train low, rest high”. Maybe the longer and higher climb of Europe (46km and finishing at +3300m high).

The south face has more roads and amazing white villages. Challenging place with nearly no flat roads. Not that cold in winter, but hot in summer.
