Overview

Discover some of the most beautiful corners of Malaga guided by the expert Eat Sleep Cycle team, enjoy local specialities such as espeto de sardinas, and soak up a taste of traditional Spanish culture. This region's mild climate offers near-perfect riding conditions in winter, spring and autumn. The tour starts with a warm-up ride and climb on the outskirts of the city of Malaga, el Puerto del León. In the evening, discover the bustling city centre and some of the best local bodegas with a wine and tapas tour. The ride on day 3 will head out directly from the hotel and offers stunning views of the coastline. A natural marvel awaits on day 4 as, after a short transfer, the route winds through the countryside towards the natural park of El Torcal de Antequera, home to awe-inspiring rock formations. The final ride of the Classic Climbs of Malaga tour will start after a transfer to Alfarnate and snakes southbound through the Malaga hills towards the coast and back to the city. Spend 5 days soaking up this beautiful coastal region of southern Spain by day, and exploring the lively streets of Malaga and the city's best restaurants by night. Stay in the 4* NH Málaga hotel.
