We’re expanding our women’s program with a ride camp in sunny Málaga, Spain! Discover some of the most beautiful corners of Málaga guided by our expert all-women Eat Sleep Cycle guide team. Enjoy local specialities such as espeto de sardinas, and soak up a taste of traditional Spanish culture. The region’s mild climate offers near-perfect riding conditions in winter, spring and autumn, so make sure to pack sun cream!
The camp brings together women from all stages of their cycling development, from intermediate riders through to seasoned racers; there’s nothing like the fun, supportive nature of all all-female group to make you feel on top of the world! Due to the nature of the terrain we recommend riders arrive at the camp with good fitness and able to ride long climbs (at your own pace of course!)
Stay in a comfortable 4* city centre hotel a short walk from the buzzing marbled streets of the city centre. We’ve curated 5 fabulous evenings with group which take you to all corners of the city to taste Málaga’s best food & wine.
Rated 2 out of 4 our Intermediate tours are designed for sporty people who are looking to enjoy some more challenging rides. E-bikes are available on all of our tours.
Meet the Eat Sleep Cycle team at our hotel to set up the bikes & head out on a 45-km warm-up ride climbing el Puerto del Leon. Wind down in the evening with a wonderful wine and tapas tour of the city centre.
Fuel up with a hearty breakfast at the hotel before getting a transfer to Álora to ride to El Chorro and see the Caminito del Rey, a walkway pinned against the steep walls of the narrow El Chorro gorge. Enjoy a relaxing evening meal in one of Malaga’s best restaurants.
The ride on day 4 features the best of everything Malaga has to offer, sparkling coastal routes and winding mountain roads beside mango and avocado farms. The views over the Montes de Malaga and out towards the coast at the summit will not disappoint!
Day 5 begins with another short transfer to just outside the city, where the ride to El Torcal de Antequera begins. This stunning natural park is home to milennia-old rock formations that used to form the seabed. There’s another day of climbing on the cards today but El Torcal is worth every second.
The final ride really is one Malaga’s classic climbs, El Puerto del Sol, which often features in the the Vuelta a Andalucía. Starting in Alfarnate, the ride snakes south over the undulating Andalucian landscape back towards the city and coast.
On the sixth and final day of the tour, the time has come to say farewell. Enjoy a final breakfast at the hotel and a stroll around the city centre (if there is time!) before starting the journey home. And remember, the sun-kissed roads of Malaga are always just a plane-ride away!
