The best traffic-free bike rides around Embalse de El Limonero

Impressive views. It must be done by bike but be careful with people walking.

The Arcos de Zapata are the arches of a historic 18th-century aqueduct intended to carry water from the Fuente del Rey to Málaga, but which was never fully operational. Today, the remaining arches are a visible relic of this ancient water conduit, some several meters high, and partially integrated into the townscape, for example, with houses built beneath them. Although the aqueduct never fulfilled its original purpose, it is considered a historical and cultural landmark of the region and is an interesting destination for cycling tours in the area.

Casabermeja is a typical Andalusian mountain village, located at the entrance to the Montes de Málaga Natural Park, and offers an impressive combination of history, traditional architecture, and scenic beauty. The whitewashed houses cling to the hillside in terraces, and from the higher points, there are sweeping views across the surrounding valleys and olive groves. Casabermeja is particularly famous for its San Sebastián Cemetery, which, due to its unusual design and architecture, has been declared a site of national cultural interest. The small, whitewashed burial chapels resemble miniature houses and lend the place a unique character. At the heart of the village stands the parish church of Nuestra Señora del Socorro, a fine example of 16th-century Andalusian religious architecture with a striking red brick tower. Casabermeja and its surroundings are ideal for exploring by bicycle. The gently rolling landscape offers a variety of routes – from leisurely rides through the fields to more challenging tours in the Montes de Málaga mountains. Along the way, you'll discover traditional farmhouses, scenic viewpoints, and quiet country lanes that reflect the authentic character of rural Andalusia. Casabermeja is therefore an ideal starting point for excursions and for enjoying regional cuisine, especially the typical goat dishes and olive oils of the area.

On the way to Vendomiel, you'll experience a stunning change of landscapes—from the warm Mediterranean coast to expansive olive groves to the fresh mountain air of the Andalusian Sierra.

This path, located next to the airport's second runway and the river, is ideal for a peaceful, car-free, and safe ride, making it ideal for children. Its length of over 4 km offers plenty of opportunities to explore, and you're sure to see more than one unusual airplane up close!

A private house that serves as a reference point, located at the top of the climb and right at a crossroads on the road itself that continues towards Casa Bermeja with a path that is neglected towards Puerto de la Torre, passing first by places such as the Ermita de Verdiales or the Pico Alcuza trail.

It doesn't usually have much water; it's a reservoir that feeds the river that runs through the city of Málaga, but when it has water, it's beautiful.
