Cycling in the Costa Del Sol
This region of sunny Spain stays hot throughout the year and promises jaw-dropping views of different natural sites. The beauty of the Costa del Sol spans coastal paths and mountainous routes, with idyllic towns and resorts on hand after a day on the open road. It’s great areas for newbies and pros alike.
The coasts with the most
Boasting more than 300 yearly sunshine days, this costa has it all. It also has bragging rights to a mix of terrain and quiet roads. You’ll find each of its resorts has a relaxed pace of life, with low-key shops and eateries to show off.
Rewarding routes
Marbella is not only a plush playground for the rich and famous, it’s fab for cyclists, too. Malaga and Granada are another two biking heavyweights, where you can combine sea views with town centre stop-offs. As for Nerja, the routes don’t get much dreamier.
From saddle to city
If you’re wanting to get around the region when you aren’t cycling, your best bet for big-time exploration is the sun-baked city of Malaga. Base your to-do list on the art galleries, chic boutiques and tapas bars dotted around the centre.
