Flipping awesome. Puts a big grin on my face thinking of the riding I've done over there. Who you choose to go with depends on the riding you want to do. Do you want uplift? XC? Good suggestions above but search this forum and you'll find loads of other experiences shared

switchbacks do DH in the winter and uplift assited XC in the summer.

If your adventurous and can read a map i would recommend [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mountain-Bike-Southern-Spain-Climbing/dp/0954976290/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1358884849&sr=1-1 ]this guide book[/url]
Been guided twice by Jim from seasonallyunadjusted who helped write the book and twice using the guide book.
Some great riding there but i've got lazy and go to the Alps more now ๐Ÿ˜ณ

A better question for the OP to ask is whether anyone as had any [i]bad[/i] experiences? I suspect there won't be too many ๐Ÿ˜€

we went to malaga last october, we did a day of guided and lift assisted riding with switchbacks in and around bubion, the other 3 days we found our own routes by using books etc.

The video below is one of the trails that runs down from the top of the cable car in benalmadena.

You'll need an uplift really to make the most ofthe riding in the area, we made do with 3 hire cars and did our own uplifts for the days we werent with switchback or riding the trails off the cable car.

Great area for riding, really great
