Peter Olofsson, Founder of Bike Casa De luz

After making over forty trips to Andalusia over the course of ten years, I decided to buy a small hotel in the area I always come back to: Axarquía in the heart of Andalusia, which by Swedish standard has summer temperatures all year round. Here, the nature is more beautiful than anywhere else and there are all types of cycling, flat along the cooling coast, hilly in the mountains on winding roads.

From the village of Almáchar, which is located on a mountain ridge, there are more road options than anywhere else. Here you also avoid boring transport routes with heavy traffic. Immediate pleasurable exercise in inspiring nature and accommodation in a 500-year-old house with pleasant architecture make me feel very comfortable in Almáchar.

The family atmosphere in the village where you only need to go outside the door to be able to socialize with people who love to talk about everything that concerns, even in winter in 16-degree temperatures. The pleasure of novelty always surprises me when I come here after a period of unpleasant winter training in Sweden.

I have trained and competed with several clubs. Pretty soon I got hooked on cycling training to relax. My training volume is 15–25 hours of cycling and running per week, depending on the season. I train every day all year round. 

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
