Malaga Cycling Tour

Upon arrival at Malaga airport, you will be picked up and transferred to your hotel. Here you have direct access to incredible climbs as well as pristine beaches and lively restaurants and bars.

Depending on what time you arrive, pick up your bikes and settle into your hotel before an afternoon of exploring the region.

Get ready to tick off a classic. Today’s ride takes you up El Puerto del Sol, a climb that’s earned its place in cycling folklore and often features in the Vuelta a Andalucía. Starting from the sleepy village of Alfarnate, you’ll snake your way south through rolling Andalusian landscapes, where olive groves and whitewashed farmhouses dot the horizon.

This is a ride that flows. The road undulates as you make your way back towards the city and the coast, each twist and turn offering new views and new challenges. It’s a day that captures everything we love about riding in southern Spain – quiet roads, stunning scenery, and the perfect mix of effort and reward.

Today, you ride into the heart of Málaga’s wild beauty. Expect a day packed with contrasts – smooth coastal roads glistening in the morning light and twisty mountain climbs snaking through mango and avocado farms. It’s a route that serves up the very best of Andalusia, with sun drenched valleys, fragrant orchards, and quiet hilltop roads.

As you ascend into the Montes de Málaga, the views open up in spectacular fashion. Look back and you’ll see the Mediterranean shimmering in the distance, a perfect reward for your efforts. Whether you're chasing that summit buzz or pausing to soak in the silence of the hills, today is a reminder of why you ride.

Today you'll need a transfer which we can help you with if you need, to the charming town of Álora. The ride takes you through El Chorro, one of Andalucía’s most dramatic landscapes, with soaring cliffs and deep gorges that feel like something out of a movie.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Caminito del Rey, a jaw-dropping walkway clinging to the steep walls of the El Chorro gorge. It’s a spectacular sight and a true highlight of the day’s ride.

If today is your last day in Malaga, a transfer will arrive to take you back to Malaga airport after your bikes have been picked up. Relax this morning and take your time chilling out on the south-east coast before your onward journey.
