Granada · CYCLING TOURS
Good cycling tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
In two hours, an English-speaking guide such as Fares, Simon, Pedro, or Kyle leads you from Plaza Nueva through Sacromonte and the Albaicin. Expect steep cobbled streets, cave-house stories, flamenco culture, Alhambra viewpoints, and e-bikes that make the hills manageable.
“A great way to visit Sacramonte and albaicin. Tour guide Simon was pleasant and knowledgeable. We recommend the tour”
Ride a Yamaha or Bosch e-bike through Granada’s Albaicin and Sacromonte with guides such as Simon, Fares, or Kaell. Expect Moorish lanes, cave houses, flamenco country, San Nicolás views, steep turns, and a small-group feel. Basic cycling confidence helps.
“It was such a great way to see the city highlights. Rueben was a great, knowledgeable guide who also gave great recommendations of delicious local places to eat and Flamenco shows to see. Highly recommended!”
Join guides such as Miguel, José, Manolo, or Mike for a five-hour e-bike ride from Sierra Nevada National Park toward Granada. Expect mostly downhill riding, dirt tracks, views of Mulhacén, mountain goats, snacks, water, safety gear, and a memorable finish near the Alhambra.
“Such an amazing day with Manolo and Jose. The scenery is spectacular, the simplicity of cruising downhill is exhilarating, the bikes are top-notch, and we met some fabulous fellow enthusiasts. Easily our favourite activity in Granada, giving us perspective outside the city and allowing nature to restore our equilibrium.”
You’ll pedal from Carrera del Darro through Paseo de los Tristes, Sacromonte, and the Albaicín, using an electric bike to handle steep lanes and cobbles. Guides such as Mario, Anwar, Alex, and Marco share local history and point out cave homes, city walls, and Alhambra views.
“Play Granada only have e-bikes frame M & L and seats can not be changed/adjusted. Wish I’d listened to the other reviews about this. I was too short at 160cm to use the M frame and the guide found another bike which was partially charged and only 3 out of 7 gears worked. Incredibly difficult bike ride when the electric bike wasn’t up to much. It is an arduous bike ride with a lot of hills. Be warned. Have take . Several e tours in the past and never had this experience before with the seats being fixed.”
Ride an electric bike through Granada’s Albaicín, Sacromonte, forest paths, and hilltop viewpoints. A guide such as Fabrizio, Alex, or Bea leads the way in English or Spanish, with a 10-minute practice session before you tackle cobbles, steep streets, and views of the Alhambra.
“Fabrizio has been a great guide, nice, taking care about our safety on the road. We learned great stories and had a chance to buy cookies at the monastery from probobly the oldest vending machin in the world.”
You’ll spend about three hours riding an electric bike through Sacromonte, Albaicín, Granada’s center, and riverside streets. Guides such as Simon, Fares, Kaell, Nico, Diego, and Karen help with the steep hills, local history, viewpoints, and tapas stops. The group is limited to 12 people.
“We had a wonderful tour with Karen. Some great view of the city. Ebikes were easy to use around the town. She was very knowledgeable about the area and was a great guide, lots of fun. The tapas and drinks along the way were also very good....”
Join a small guided e-bike ride from central Granada with Ruben, Edson, Borja, or Simon. Follow forest and off-road paths around the Alhambra, stop at quiet viewpoints, and watch Sierra Nevada, Albaicín, Sacromonte, and the city glow toward sunset.
“This was a great ebike tour. It took us throught the Alhambra and above the city. It was the first ebike tours that actually went off-road. You got to ride through the forest and olive tree groves to overviews of the city that were spectacular! Edson was a great guide! I would highly recommend this ebike tour!”
Join Manuel, José, or another Bike Tour Granada guide for a five-and-a-half-hour e-bike journey from the Sierra Nevada toward Granada. You’ll ride gravel tracks and mountain roads, spot goats and sheep, stop for photos and snacks, and finish near the original meeting point.
“This was an incredible experience. A highlight was biking from the Sierra Nevadas all the way back through Granada to the meeting point in the morning. I don’t know if that was mentioned but it was an amazing way to do the experience. I feel that any level of biker would be able to enjoy the journey. Was a highlight of our trip thus far. The tour guides were great and accommodating. All the five star reviews undersold the experience.”
Spend three hours exploring Granada by e-bike with guides such as Simon, Fares, Borja, and Victor. Ride through Albayzín, Sacromonte, downtown, flower-filled Carmen lanes, and viewpoints including San Nicolás and San Miguel Alto, with tapas and a drink along the way.

Leave central Granada with a small group and an electric bike, climb toward La Silla del Moro and Sierra Nevada National Park, then pass olive groves and Guejar Sierra. Guides including Simon, Simone, and Kaell lead rides in English. Expect mixed terrain, long hours in the saddle, and superb mountain views.
“Epic views! Spectacular scenery for the entire ride! We had the best time. Loved getting in the natural environment outside the city. Our tour guide, Simone was phenomenal! Highly recommended for adventurous folks who enjoy E-biking with mixed terrain.”
Ride a Segway through Granada’s Albayzin with a local guide, reaching Mirador de San Nicolas, Paseo de los Tristes, Puerta de Elvira, and Calle Elvira. Groups are capped at six, and the route includes instruction for first-time riders.
“Wow we had such a great time! It was a small group of 4 of us. We had one-on-one instruction and the guide was incredibly attentive to our needs. The Segway is safe and such an easy way to go up on the incline of Albaicin quarter. I was concerned about the cobblestone roads but they it wasn't an issue with the Segway at all. Would highly recommend!”
Join Luca on a private three-hour electric mountain-bike ride from central Granada to the Silla del Moro. Beginners receive a short riding lesson, then your route is adjusted to your skill level, with climbs, descents, quiet viewpoints, and city panoramas along the way.
“Lots of great views and a great guide (Luca). He seems to love the city as much as he loves mountain biking and is very easy to go with, and he keeps it entertaining and informative especially if you ask any questions!”
Ride an electric bike with an English- or Spanish-speaking guide through Albayzín and Sacromonte. You’ll pass Paseo de los Tristes, Fuente del Avellano, Sacromonte Abbey, and Mirador de San Nicolás. Guides Mario and Mer have led especially well-received outings, though some departures may switch to Segways.
“Uiteindelijk een leuke ervaring maar niet helemaal wat we geboekt hadden. We hadden een fietstour geboekt met zn viertjes waar er hooguit 5 op de fiets zouden zijn. Uiteindelijk vertrokken we met 4 andere gasten en ook de gids op de segway en wij op de fiets zoals geboekt. Geen ideale combinatie en zeker niet zoals geboekt.”
Ride Granada’s steep hills with a private English-speaking guide, visiting Paseo de los Tristes, Sacromonte Abbey, the Albaicin, and San Nicolas viewpoint. E-bikes, helmets, fees, and local guiding are included. Mario has led a relaxed, informative version of this tour.
“We had a great time on the Segway tour with our excellent guide Kevin. Neither I nor my daughter had been on a segway before and after 5mins we got the hang of it. Great way to see Nerja and to learn it’s history and points of interest. Thoroughly recommend and thank you to Kevin for his guidance and patience.”
