Traveling to spain and looking for dh trails and bike parks in the alicante area (within 2 to 3 hours). Heard of la fenasosa. Any good. Advice or a guide would be good. Anyone??

its gets very hot, from dawn till lunch is best,I would avoid any epic rides unless its a cloudy day!

go to LBS and find out when where people meet for rides, you could find fireroad type stuff, or really rocky trails,depends on the group you go with!

We are going to try and hit la fenasosa, mainly downhill for us. Turns out it might not be open during the week

BTW if you are near Benidorm in Alicante check out the Sierra Helada around the Pla del Cuartel area , its not too big to explore in a morning and there are LOADS of natural trails amd there is shadeSalute

Thanks for the advice.
Will they speak much english at fenasosa?
My spanish is pretty much limited to up, down, fast, slow, stop, go, beer and wheres the toilet!
That is quite literally it Smile

haha i think you got enough lingo to do just fine, they speak some english, but ´tis España - so you can expect to not understand anything even if you speak the language lol

Got my self booked in for two days at fenasosa. Hoping to do the full monty dinner and all. Looks pretty cool. Have a friend in spain who speaks spanish but he cant ride a bike FrownThank for the advice again might try those other two places too. My mate will be pissed off though I will want to be out before the sun get up to far.

nice one!

BTW: those two places are actually one!n the marked route on the map is not really a great bike route, it is for hikers going across from 1 side to the other, most is fire road and some is hike a bike stuff!! check the area "Pla del Cuartel" on the map if you go thereSalute
