450km/280mi Trans Nevada route marked and mapped in Spain

[Slim]

In the Sierra Nevada National Park in Spain, a route has been signed and mapped. I read about it in the current Dirtrag issue.

sounds like a great bikepacking destination:
well marked
cool landscape
easy access to the area (it is just a few miles from the major beach resorts)

I'll have to pick up the issue! I didn't see anything on Dirt Rag online but I did a super quick search. Any idea on the percentage of singletrack?

I think I might need to track it down too.  I don't know what the deal is with camping in the park?  I don't think you can just camp where you want, although when I've biked there I've hardly seen a soul.  A guide I know, who used to run his business out there has moved back to the UK due to increased problems with the park rangers too.

EDIT:  I've been looking into this and have found a Spanish website with details of the route.  The GPS file is on Wikiloc too.

Nice - I read through the website as best I can. I'm not fluent in Spanish and Google Translate was impressing me. I had a hard time finding out if it's all double-track and rough roads or if there is true singletrack on the route. Any thoughts?

Maybe we should just go see for ourselves

I had a hard time finding out if it's all double-track and rough roads or if there is true singletrack on the route.

I wondered that too, when translating some of it, it mentions something about 2 metre wide roads and not being able to go a certain way.  I wonder if that's why the guide I know has left the area?  Some of the singletrack goes on for miles, that was staying below 6000ft too.  We couldn't go higher due to the snow (It was the New Year).
I wonder if the PDF's done by the tourist board are available in English, I've searched about but can't find anything.



When are we going?

Well I think you're going to have an easier time getting there than me.
