If you’re looking for a fabulous climate, smooth roads and a buzzing old town and beach full of bars & restaurants, put Málaga high on your cycling wishlist. Málaga is a little slice of heaven for roadies, gravellers & mountain bikers alike, Málaga has an amazing network of climbs ready to blow your mind. It’s a destination that can be enjoyed all year around, with the best months to ride being September to June.
The historic centre of Málaga is quite simply exquisite. With marbled streets, museums and monuments (inlcuding the cathedral and Roman amphitheatre), it’s the perfect place to wonder and lose yourself in the streets. Add in the fabulous jumble of bars, restaurants and shops and it’s a city experience that’s hard to beat.
Head down to the beach for this traditional Malagueñan dish. The further away from the city you get, the more delicious and cheaper the sardines! Best washed down with a glass of local white wine. We love these so much we made a t-shirt!
A reference point for Malagueñan cyclists, this is a climb to the north of the city named for the entrepreneur who sells honey along the way! The climb heads all the way out of the city 25 kms to the village of Casabermeja, there’s very little traffic and it makes for a perfect day out on the bike.
A 20 km climb from Málaga city centre, this is a must for any road cyclist in the city. Fabulous views of Málaga unfold as you climb. Refuel at the top at the local bar and contemplate a fun descent!
