The tunnel at La Araña lies directly on the coast and is a remnant of the historic Málaga to Vélez-Málaga railway line, built at the beginning of the 20th century. Blasted through the rock to carry the railway along the steep coast, it is now part of the coastal cycle path. Connecting the La Araña coastal area with the adjacent beaches, the tunnel runs close to the Mediterranean Sea. Today, it offers cyclists a sheltered passage along the cliffs and is a striking feature of the coastal promenade in this section.
