Spain’s Wild Side: Cycling the Gebas Desert in Sierra Espuña 🇪🇸

🔥 Scorching MTB Ride in the Barrancos de Gebas | 25km Loop from El Berro 🚵‍♀️☀️
Join me for an unforgettable mountain bike ride through one of Spain’s most dramatic and surreal landscapes — the Barrancos de Gebas! Starting from the charming village of El Berro, I tackle a 25km loop in the intense summer heat, winding through barren, moon-like ravines, past the striking Gebas Reservoir, and finishing through fragrant orange orchards. The ride is tougher than expected — recent rainstorms have carved deep cracks and ruts into many of the tracks, making the terrain unpredictable and challenging. The dry heat doesn’t help, and by the time I reach the reservoir, I gratefully dip my feet in the cool, turquoise water to recover and take it all in. This route is a visual and physical adventure — wild badlands, shimmering blue water, rugged surfaces, and the sweet scent of citrus to close it out. Grab some water, hit play, and come ride with me through this hidden gem in Murcia!
