Bike shops in Almería: 21 businesses and 20 workshops, from the Poniente to the Levante

Almería is cycling country almost all year round: mild winters, little rain and roads that take you from the sea to the desert in an hour. From the Poniente around Roquetas and El Ejido to the capital, and on to Cabo de Gata, Tabernas or the Los Filabres range, you can ride in short sleeves on many November days. That said, the sun, dust and sand are hard on your bike. If you're looking for bike shops in Almería, the bicis.net directory lists 21 businesses for cyclists in the province (data as of 10 November 2026). Here's how to find yours and what to ask for.
How many bike shops and workshops there are in Almería
Of those 21 businesses, 19 are bike shops and 20 are workshops. They're almost always the same places: the shop that sells you the bike also fixes it, so one place you trust covers both. The directory counts each business under everything it does, which is why the rows add up to more than the total.
| Type of business in Almería | Businesses |
|---|---|
| Bike shops | 19 |
| Bike workshops | 20 |
| Bike hire | 2 |
| Cyclist accommodation | 2 |
| Bike transport | 2 |
That makes 21 businesses in the directory in total. Source: bicis.net, Ciclismo en cifras, shops and workshops by province, data as of 10 November 2026 (n = 1,913 businesses in Spain and Andorra). Shops and workshops come from OpenStreetMap and from the businesses that sign up on the website.
How to find yours in the directory
Go to the bike shops in Almería and search by your town: the capital and its surroundings, the Poniente (Roquetas de Mar, Aguadulce, Vícar, El Ejido), the Levante (Vera, Garrucha, Mojácar) or inland. Each listing shows you where it is on the map, what services it offers and how to get in touch. If you want to get yours fixed, go straight to the bike workshops in Almería. Three tips before you go:
- Call ahead. Many workshops work by appointment, and in the good riding months, which here is almost all of them, the wait gets longer.
- Say what bike you ride. Not every workshop handles suspension, hydraulic brakes or e-bikes. Better to find out on the phone than at the counter.
- Ask how long it'll take. A service can be done the same day or take a week if parts need ordering.
If you have a shop or workshop in the province and you're not in the directory, or your details have changed, you can sign up for free and complete your listing.
What to ask the workshop for with sun, dust and sand
If you ride tracks and dry riverbeds
The fine dust of the tracks and ramblas gets into your drivetrain, your fork seals and your bearings. Ask them to check the chain, the suspension seals and the headset, and use a dry lube that won't turn into paste with the dirt. When you get back, a rag and a brush are worth more than a pressure washer.
If you ride along the coast
Between Cabo de Gata and the Poniente, sea air eats bolts and cables. Rinse the bike with fresh water after a ride by the sea and ask the workshop to check cables and steel bolts every few months.
If you want fewer punctures
Prickly pears, agaves and loose rock: here punctures are part of everyday life. Ask about setting up tubeless with sealant and tyres with good protection, and always carry a plug kit and a pump in your bag.
If you're visiting for a few days
The directory has 2 businesses that hire bikes, 2 cyclist accommodations and 2 bike transport services in the province. With so few, book in advance or bring your bike and save the details of the workshop nearest where you're staying.
Routes to try out your bike in Almería
Fresh out of the workshop, it's time to ride. For now, bicis.net has 1 route starting in the province of Almería: the Vía Verde del FC. Guadix-Almendricos, 20.1 km along the old railway line, with no cars and hardly any hills (data as of 10 November 2026). It's a good one to break in a bike or to ride with the family.
We're adding more routes in Almería. In the meantime, the website has routes all over Andalusia, each with its map, its profile and the weather forecast for the day you ride. And if you'd rather ride with company, check the clubs in the province in the club directory.
A tip for summer: set off early, carry twice as much water as you think you need and save the phone number of the workshop nearest your route. In the Tabernas desert or the mountains there are long stretches with few villages. © OpenStreetMap contributors.
