Gran Fondo Alpujarra
What to expect
A challenging route through breathtaking scenery described by the organisers as 'tu infierno en el paraiso' or, 'your hell in paradise'. While hell might be a bit harsh, with 3050m climbed over the 136km course and a trip to Spain's highest village the 900 riders really earn their finishing prize of a local ham.
