I just got back last weekend from a few days riding around the Alpujurras, was based in Cadiar (on an organised cycle tour by Vamos Cycling - think someone here on LFGSS recommended them and now I would recommend them). I agree with @tmevans riding around the area is fantastic, road surface great, scenery amazing and one 80km ride saw all of about 15 cars.

Been meaning to say thanks for the help with routes, ended up riding from Seascale back to Natland. Went your laney route and catching the ferry in the middle of a ride was something new, roads were great, not much traffic at all. Your recommendation of Chesters by the River was amazing, I couldnt believe it was all vegan. I stayed at Fox Hall vegan B&B which was really nice actually.
Epic area to ride a bike!

- Small (more like an extra small, I normally take small jersey/jacket in most brands Castelli, Santini and this is a bit too tight and short)
- Good condition except for the end bit on the zipper tab has snapped off, zipper still works absolutely fine
- Water resistant, not waterproof
- Packs away super small
£18 posted (or pickup available in Eastbourne)

Thanks so much for the extra info and the routes and re-routing gravel/offroad sections. I've done some google street viewing on spots of the laney route and it looks great, will do that version I think. Looking forward to it, fingers crossed for the weather!

Amazing, thanks I'm definitely going to check that cafe out no matter which way I go.
I'll be doing this section on a Friday, I'd prefer quiet and dont mind a little bit longer route (though this is first of 4 consecutive riding days so dont want to go too crazy first day).Doing the ferry seems like something that one should take the chance to do while up there.
I mapped this out quickly as a possibility, if you have any thoughts/changes you'd suggest, I'd much appreciate it. Might stick to less climbing after having done Hardknott and Wrynose, haha -

I'm heading up that way at start of July to do the St Bees - Robins Hood Bay Coast to Coast (https://www.komoot.com/tour/242847581). Staying south of Kendal for first two nights (will train it to St Bees on first day for the start).
After @damitamit mentioned a vegan cafe (thanks for that), I am now considering the ferry. But any opinions/advice on going south to Hawkshead after Wrynose Pass and using the ferry then towards Kendal? Or just stick north of Lake Windermere?
Besides the Haza del Lino I dont think we did many really named climbs as such. It was great though, views to the Mediterranean one side and to snow capped mountains on the other side. At the top there was a nice restaurant/cafe in a good spot just before it heads back downhill.
Sorry to say I didnt eat out much at all and no drinks, I dont think you can go wrong for routes around there as just even riding in the valleys or on roads through the little villages on the hills was nice. That site looks like it has a few nice routes around Orgiva
