Welcome to the city that never sleeps for a road cycling holiday in the sun. Málaga has a phenomenal climate for all year round riding and has a great variety of rides to enjoy from the city centre.
Enjoy one base for the week at a city centre hotel located a few minutes from the Eat Sleep Cycle Málaga Cycling Hub.
Dine out each evening in our favourite restuarants in Málaga city centre, each a short stroll from the hotel. Take your pick from our recommendations – opt for Spanish cuisine whilst watching a Flamenco show, or head to beach for chilled white wine & espeto de sardines.

Stop at the local bar at the top and listen to farmers sharing gossip from the hills. Descend through Olias and return to Málaga along the coast. An ice-cream stop is highly recommended.
