Aragon / Huesca / Spain might be one of the wildest and finest areas for adventure mountain biking...
Guess all know "Ainsa" - but quite hard to find some useful information to prepare a mountain bike vacation in and around this area.

Found this, maybe/hopefully helpful:
MTB Adventures Quiri:
Enduro trail videos Quiri Aquilue
Don't know the gentleman Quiri Aquilue. But he was so nice to upload the above video collection. All the videos are from trails north from the town Huesca. Area Sierra de Guara, Jacetania, Alpine Pyrenees (all in Aragon).
Quiri Aquilue is bike guide and working for Inizia bike travel:
INIZIA bike travel
Seems to be a fairly new company. I had a lot of time when making vacation in this area and used GPS and hiking maps to find the trails. Means I had no guide.
Small but nice map collection (Enduro trails) for the Sierra de Guara:
Maps Enduro trails Sierra de Guara (Spain/Aragon/Huesca)
Older article about the Sierra de Guara. Lots of pictures but very little information:
older article about biking in the Sierra de Guara

Back to the videos from Quiri Aquilue: some great trails in the "alpine area of the Pyrenees". Went hiking there - these trails are nothing for my biking skill level.
But the trails / areas "in front of the Pyrenees" like the Sierra de Guara around Nocito, around Ainsa (EWS trails...), south of Jaca are just so great for biking!!! But very, very remote. There are some biking companies which offer guided tours - like well known "Basque mtb" - or maybe above new comapany Inizia where this fun guy Quiri Aquilue is biking.

bit more research about trails in Aragon.

More south (more for winter time biking?):

SPANISH UTAH, area close to Calatayud
(new!)map collection:

Map collection Spanish Utah Calatayud

Video impression (from min 4:00 very, very neat!!!)
Sendero Seeker Spanish Utah

The Sendero Seeker (Nathan) did this tour with some guides from company "trackmtb"

trackmtb Rioja

This company trackmtb is located bit more east, in Rioja - but it seems that they offer tours in "Spanish Utah" / Aragon as well.

One more fantastic video from Quiri Aquilue...
Comodoto, north of Ordesa National Park (Aragon, Pyrenees)

close to Ordesa National Park

note: think Quiri stays out of the National Park itself. Mountain biking in the Ordesa Park is not allowed....

The whole collection of Quiri Aquilue videos:

Fantastic stuff!
