The south of Spain has always been a popular spot for mountain bikers of all varieties – the Alpujarras area near to Granada claiming some of the best singletrack rides in Europe and possibly the world for one. But in more recent times Malaga has taken over as the most visited location by British riders with downhillers and trail riders who would prefer to miss out the uphills spending winter holidays in the area.

This great little edit by The Bike Shuttle (one of the better uplift providers) shows off everything that Malaga has to offer gravity freaks and even throws in appearances by many well-known names from the downhill world. If you’ve heard of Chris Akrigg (of course you have) or BMX demi-god Ruben Alcantara then you’ll be excited by their appearances too…
