Go your own way!
Sometimes a bike ride is enjoyed best alone. Or in the close circle with good friends or family. Although joining a guided tour has some advantages, we understand it is sometimes nicer to set your own pace and take as many stops as you like. Or maybe just go full throttle and not having to wait for others. Snakebite therefore offers a range of self guided bicycle tours where you can enjoy your ride and let yourself be guided using a cycle GPS.
|
For just € 5,00 per day you can rent a cycle GPS. We use the MIO Cyclo 200. The device is very user friendly and anyone who knows how to operate a smart phone will quickly learn how to use it. Just in case, the GPS comes with a quick reference guide with basic instructions.
Note: the GPS can only be hired in combination with bike rental! We´ve selected the following self guided tours, ranging from proper MTB rides to longer trekking tours using small roads. You can start your ride at Snakebite´s (free parking) or somewhere else in the Moraira region.

2. Fun & coast MTB ride
Route: Moraira - Benitachell – Jávea - Moraira
For this ride we assembled some fun trails on the hills behind Moraira. The first half is really in the woods and river bed just off the coast. Subsequently you descent towards the coast and ride alongside the Mediterranean sea where you can ideally break for a drink or spot of lunch. The final stage of the ride leads over small roads back to Moraira.

3. Moraira, Benitachell, Jávea and Teulada in a day
This ride takes you through the four villages closest in our area: the coastal towns of Moraira and Jávea and the more inland villages of Teulada and Benitachell. We´ve selected small asphalted as well as dirt roads so won´t get caught up between cars and other traffic. It´s just a very scenic route to discover these towns and the lands that surround them. It´s a perfect route to spend all day riding and tasting; have a soft drink and maybe some lunch at the busy coast and taste a great ´café con leche` or ´cortado` in one of the sleepy ´pueblo´s` just off the coast.

4. Jávea and Jalón small roads
Route: Moraira – Jávea - Gata de Gorgos – Lliber - Jalón - Benissa - Moraira
If you´re looking for a day ride to discover the area on the bike, rather than off roading this may be a good ride for you. It´s almost completely on small roads and takes you along the coast and then more inland. The hinterland of the Costa Blanca is really beautiful with its vineyards and olive- and organegroves.
