Mountain Biking in Seville

Mountain Biking is an extreme form of adventure sport. It is slightly different from normal biking in the sense it involves special types of mountain bikes with knobby tiers, shock absorbers and suspensions and circular frame tubing. The excitement of riding the light bikes and exploring the narrow mountain trails and rugged topography is something spectacular. Spain is popular for its biking holidays. For passionate bikers the charm of going up and down the mountainous regions, splash through the gurgling streams and waterfalls and occasionally coming across the wildlife around Seville is a lovely proposition. It might sound dangerous but the risk is worth taking. Mountain Biking is well known in Seville too which is the capital of Andalusia and is extremely artistic in its settings.

Seville has the right geographical characteristics for Mountain Biking. Comprising of the lower valleys of the Guadalquivir River, Seville is bordered on the Northwest by the Morena Mountains and by the Sub Baetic Ranges of the Algodonales and Yeguas Mountains. The Sierra Norte National Park which is bordered by Badajoz, Cordoba and Huelva is the wettest part of Seville. This is also a mountainous area with a diverse flora and fauna. While biking through this area you can also check out the mountain villages resting in the arms of the mighty mountains.

However it should be remembered that Mountain biking is such a sport which requires a lot of endurance and skill. One should be self reliant as well as have a good knowledge about bikes. Since Mountain Biking in Seville will lead you to far flung places, you should be self sufficient to handle the difficulties. While exploring the wilderness of Seville on a bike opt for a guided tour or carry the necessary charts and well marked mountain routes meant especially for bikers.
