i'm thinking about going over to spain around february for a couple of days on the trails, anyone been out there who could recomend who to use ....or who not to!?
Some friends of Cap'n Paul suggested using a guy called Jesus (yep - really) in N Spain who gave them an excellent few days. Paul will be able to remember the details better than me.
Torotrail were very good when we went with them last year.
This year we're trying Touratrail (www.touratrail.com) - not the subtle spelling difference - who have also been recommended by fellow TRF members. However, we're not going until the end of November, so might be a bit late to let you know how we get on.
We can definitly recommend Touratrail, Steve and shirley run husky 310's, also crf 230, we went last feb and had a great three days riding, beautiful countryside, bit more off the beaten trail than malaga, friendly locals, great food etc etc
I did DustDevils this year and there were excellent. Really good guys and the bikes (ktm's) were all tip-top too. They are based near Puerto Banus and the hotel we stayed in 5* was only 20 euros a night. They supply all gear/bikes etc and pick you up from the airport too.
We did 5 days but i'm sure they cater for 1-2 days also. We had a chap join us for a one day outing whilst we were there.

Some mates of mine went with these a few months ago and echo what Corp Chaos has said. There's lots of choice out there and most are decent guys but I would avoid Trailblazers....the guy running it is a total c0ck and the tales of bad/illegal practice I've heard from other riders would fill a book.
