← All eventsAndalucía Bike Race by Garmin
Multi-day UCI off-road MTB stage race in Andalusia (Granada, Jaén, Córdoba) ridden in pairs — ~305km / ~8,630m over the stages, technical XCO and marathon terrain, ~800-1,000 riders. Date approximate.
You ride it as a pair, and you cross every stage line together. A UCI mountain-bike stage race across Andalusia, scored on your team's cumulative time, where the slower rider on the day sets the pace.
Southern Spain in late February. High Sierra climbs around Granada, the most technical singletrack of the week through Jaén, then a fast, flowing finale near Córdoba.
It's a durability test, not a single big day. Back-to-back off-road stages stack fatigue, and your team is only ever as fast as its more tired rider the next morning.
Who finishes, and how
Patterns like these, drawn straight from 2025 race data, are baked into how Beina coaches you for this event.
Is Andalucía Bike Race by Garmin for you?
- Pairs who train together. Your result is one cumulative time, so the partnership has to be rehearsed, not improvised on day one.
- Confident technical descenders. The Jaén trails reward committed handling and quietly punish anyone who rides the rocks tentatively.
- Riders built for back-to-back days. Recovering overnight and backing up the effort matters more here than one standout performance.
- Strong off-road climbers who pace with their head. The Sierra stages carry real elevation and go to teams that ration the effort.
