Cycling in Granada?

Hi,
I'm moving to Granada for about a year in a week and I have to start with finding a new bike and finding some great bike routes.
I'm hoping someone knows some great shops or websites where I can find a reasonably priced bike and service.
Also I'm planning on biking around Andalucia a lot and am hoping for some good pointers with routes to start me off!
Thanks a lot!

Hola,
Me mundo a Granada en una semana por un año. Tango que comenzar con buscar una bicicleta nueva i rutas nuevas.
Espero que haya alguin que conoce unas buenas tiendas de ciclismo o un cito donde puede buscar bicicleta usada.
Además, planeo viajar mucho en Anadalucía, si hay alguin que le gustaría hacer ciclismo juntos pídeme i ¡vayamos!
¡Muchas gracias!

I still have a jersey from this shop that dates back to 1998:
