A 50 km e‑MTB loop that pushes deep into Grazalema Natural Park, linking cork‑oak forests, limestone ridges and the village of Montejaque. Expect sustained climbs, a technical zig‑zag exit from the village, and long descents into the Guadiaro valley.

The ride begins on a cool morning outside Ronda, pedals humming as you push toward the Serranía’s limestone ridgelines. Cork oaks shade the first climbs, singletrack narrows into a ribbon of packed dirt, and the valley opens to vertical cliffs that frame the Guadiaro River below. By mid-ride you roll into Montejaque for a short refill and the steep, switchback “zig‑zag” climb that tests your legs before a long, rewarding descent back toward Ronda.

Charge and Check Your Battery
Start with a full e‑bike battery and confirm battery range for 50 km with hilly terrain; mid‑ride charging isn’t available on trails.
Hydrate and Snack Often
Carry at least 2–3 liters and salty snacks—mountain sun and climbs deplete energy faster than flat rides.
Respect Technical Sections
Walk short, exposed rocky pitches if unsure—singletrack and the zig‑zag climb include abrupt technical bits.
Time Your Start
Ride early to avoid midday heat and to take advantage of firmer trail conditions on descents.
Quality e‑MTB (provided)
Gives the power for sustained climbs and keeps average speed up on long mountain tracks.
Hydration pack (2–3 L)
Keeps fluids and snacks accessible during long climbs and exposed sections.
summer
Trail helmet (recommended even if provided)
Protective helmet is critical for technical singletrack and fast descents.
Spare tube / puncture kit & multi‑tool
Quick flat repairs and minor adjustments keep you riding without a long walk back.
