Travel

The journey starts from Granada and follows a circular route on mainly dirt roads or in any case on secondary roads that will allow you to cross the Gorafe and Tabernas desert.

Everything develops within various natural parks (Huétor Sierra Natural Park, Layon Natural Park, Sierra Nevada Natural Park) among mountains, volcanic rocks, forests, gorges in a continuous succession of colors and spectacular places.

Leaving Granada, you immediately cross the Sierra de Huétor Natural Park to reach the only true European desert, the Gorafe area, with its splendid Badlands, natural gullies with incredible colours.

The journey then continues reaching, in a continuous and suggestive sequence, Lake Negratin and the Sierra de Baza mountains, the natural area of El Lajon. Immersed in the Andalusian hinterland, you can then reach the wild, far west scenarios of the Tabernas desert and Fort Bravo, the theme park home to the film sets of Sergio Leone's films; finally, through the Sierra Nevada Natural Park you travel the last kilometers that lead back to Granada.

A tracker connected to the Travel Planner bike will allow family and friends to follow the trip in real time from home via a link.

Is required:

- Excellent spirit of adaptation. - Good training. - Passport valid for at least 6 months from the end date of the trip.
