The Strait Mountain Bike Crossing is designed to let you discover the southernmost part of the European continent. It is a marine-terrestrial natural park, located between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, which is home to a wealth of unique natural features and a deep cultural heritage from ancient civilizations.

From day one, you’ll understand the significance of the Strait of Gibraltar and the 14 km separating Europe from Africa. Over four stages, you’ll explore towns of great cultural interest, such as Tarifa and Zahara de los Atunes, and spectacular beaches like Bolonia and Valdevaqueros, all along trails, tracks, and some paved sections.

The almost constant view of the African mountains makes us mentally leap to the other continent…

The 4 stages that make up this journey are the following:

  • Algeciras – Tarifa, 51 km and 780m of accumulated elevation gain.
  • Tarifa – Zahara de los Atunes, 43 km and 380m D+.
  • Zahara de los Atunes – Tarifa, 34 km and 370m D+.
  • Tarifa – Algeciras, 54.6 km and 950m D+

Prior physical preparation is necessary to successfully complete the entire route.
