If you are a cyclist and live in Spain you will have heard of the “La Ruta de la Cabra (The Goat Trail)”. Climbing up to 1360 metres above sea level from the coastal resort of Almuñécar, the road is know for its blind curves, sheer drops and hairpin switchbacks, words can’t describe the road and pictures don’t do it justice.

From Almuñécar. the climbing begins, all 40 kilometres of it! You will be going from sea level up 1360 metres on the Andalucian mountain road once used by traders moving their goods by mule to and fro the inland city of Granada and the coastal town of Almuñécar
