These irreducible Gauls even took the liberty of welcoming - during this Andalusian session - 2 Romans who still haven't recovered from what they've seen and experienced... Here are the exclusive ingredients of this well-kept recipe: a team of pros (Abraracourcix & Boufiltre), guides (Asterix & Amenix) who fine-tune the tracks and pamper the bikes, landscapes to feast your eyes on, spit-roasted wild boar galore, riders on the edge of their seats and good humor at every level. Veni, vidi, vici
Vita longa GravelUp
Philippe D.
We were in Sevilla, Spain - It was the first time, for me, on a Gravel bike. The experience has been excellent. Challenging from the athletic point of you, interesting in the touristic / cultural aspects and a huge injection of relax, staying so many hours in open air in contact with the uncontaminated nature and many many animals: cows, bulls, dears, sheep, horses, vultures... The participants were coming from different places in Europe and US, but we got on very well! Then our guides: competent, friendly and always willing to support, accommodate and hear our needs / wishes. In short a very positive and battery charging experience

What an adventure!!!! Five-star gravel trails (hence the rating 😉), incredible landscapes, just the right amount of elevation gain, generous and delicious snacks and dinners, and a staff that’s as friendly as they are attentive. In short, the concept is great (we knew that), but the reality is even better. A big bravo to GravelUp, and see you again soon.
