About

Cabrita Gravel Fest brings self-supported bikepacking to one of Spain's most arid and distinctive landscapes: Fuerteventura. The route spans 380 to 400 kilometres non-stop, with a maximum of three days to finish, demanding careful management of effort, resources and navigation across an island where the trade winds are as much a factor as the gravel itself. El Cotillo, on the island's northwestern tip, serves as the starting point for a journey through white sand beaches, dune fields and dark basalt valleys. No external assistance is permitted — riders carry everything they need between resupply points. Riding into a headwind for hours across 380 to 400 kilometres, the metabolic efficiency built during the aerobic base phase and the fuelling and hydration strategy developed across the programme's three pillars are what separate finishers in good shape from those who run out of resources on the final stretch. The ideal challenge for bikepackers drawn to solitude, raw scenery and total self-reliance.
