Looking for a biking holiday in Spain for myself and girlfriend. I like fast, technical singletrack, not bothered about stuff that you would need a downhill bike for but do like drops, jumps and the like. She likes flowing single track with wheels largely on the ground and can ride pretty much any red graded trail centre route without much fuss.
Any recommendations?
Cheers,
P
Me and Mark went out for the feature in issue 54. I was genuinely very impressed by the quality of the trails on offer and the variety. Everything from rocky rooty gnadgery to flowing sea shore trail. What particularly impressed me was how Doug is able to tailor the riding to different skill sets. I'd known Doug for several years prior to him starting up so I think it's fair to say I was even more critical than I would have been as a normal punter off the street.
The food, trails and accommodation were all excellent. I plan to go back as a paying guest.
Hope this helps?
Cheers
Sanny
PS If you are a premier user, there was a feature online with lots of pics from the trip which may be of interest?
That must be a record.. 26 minutes before a response, where are the holiday company guys? Do they take Fridays off?
Going with these guys in June, been before a few years ago very laid back with a beach to come back to

We went out with Freeride Spain last year. You have to be prepared to do some climbing, but the singletrack is amazing and Simon, Emma and Lee were great hosts / guides. their all inclusive prices are amazing too, especially if you're a member of Singletraction. If you're not, then the 10% saving would be a great excuse to become one!
2nded basquemtb. I'll be going back.
seasonally unadjusted. great trails. lovely time there.
Look no further than the text adds opposite.
My recommendation would be for http://www.switch-backs.com 
Only great things to say about them, have 2 setups, one XC and one DH.
No one's mentioned Ciclo Montana yet......so I will!
Great riding, people, food, pool etc. etc.
Don't forget freeridespain!
myself and basquemtb are offering a special coaching week this year.
should be fun
word of warning on booking flights example booked Monday for June
Out bound £16.04
Inbound £6.04
Total £22 08
Add taxes and one suitcase plus bike £120 still cheap but bit more than I expected!
Thanks for the recommendations guys! We're open from the end of March.
I'm totally excited about our coaching weeks Jedi! 
Doug, you heading west for El Soplao?
... wondering if the wife would let me add a couple of days onto my Cantabrian adventure, head over to Pais Vasco for a spin... hmmmmm
Mogrim, is that for the Road champs in June? I'll probably not be heading over, hopefully I'll be working I'll see the San Sebastian Classica and the Vuelta al Pais Vasco is always good too. I've got some singletrack that goes the same route as one of the descents normally used in both those races so plan to try and race the pack down!
Be good to see you in Pais Basco!
Hey mogrim, I've been tempted by the Soplao. So, if you want some company (and a ride/stop off round Bilbao) let me know.
Mackem, I'm already signed up for it... If you fancy meeting up, give us a shout.
Doug, it's the link Mackem's posted. 160km MTB, although there's also an ultramarathon and a road event.
Ahh, I didn't know about that. I'll have a look at the website. Looks hard though!
