Málaga West Coastal Cycle Route

Highlight • Cycleway

The coastal cycle route west of Malaga is a scenic and well-developed cycle route that continues along the Costa del Sol. This route heads west from Malaga through several coastal towns and offers wonderful views of the Mediterranean, sandy beaches and beautifully designed promenades.

The cycle route is gravel on this section, otherwise mostly asphalted and well signposted. It runs partly on separate cycle lanes, partly on quiet roads or along beaches or promenades.

Guadalhorce Footbridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The bridge over the Guadalhorce River is an impressive wooden walkway that provides an important link for pedestrians and cyclists. It was designed to facilitate access between the city and the natural areas around the estuary. This area is popular for its biodiversity and attracts many nature lovers.

Made from sustainable wood, the bridge blends harmoniously into the environment and is a good example of environmentally friendly infrastructure. It not only provides a functional crossing of the river, but also a place where visitors can enjoy the views of the nature reserve and the sea. Riding on the bridge by bike is a real experience in itself!

Guadalhorce River Mouth (Paraje Natural Desembocadura del Guadalhorce)

Highlight • River

The Rio Guadalhorce is the largest river in the province of Málaga and flows into the Mediterranean southwest of the city of Málaga. The mouth of the Guadalhorce is an ecologically valuable area and is known as the Paraje Natural Desembocadura del Guadalhorce, a protected nature reserve.

The Guadalhorce is a typical Mediterranean river. It rises in the Betic Cordillera and flows through an agricultural valley. Before its mouth, the river divides into two branches that shape the delta and the lagoon landscape. In the past, there were floods that were mitigated by river regulation and the construction of dams. Nevertheless, the renaturation and protection of the estuary is a focus of regional environmental policy.

Muelle Uno Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Muelle Uno is a lively harbor promenade in Málaga that is well worth seeing. The modern area stretches along the harbor and connects the old town of Málaga with the Mediterranean. Muelle Uno offers a mix of shopping, gastronomy, culture and leisure activities in a unique maritime atmosphere. The promenade is particularly lively in the evenings, when the lights of the harbor bathe the surroundings in a special atmosphere.

At the end of the Muelle Uno is the La Farola de Málaga lighthouse, which further decorates the area. Another attraction is the Centre Pompidou Málaga, which is characterized by its striking, colorful glass cube design and is a branch of the famous Parisian museum. It displays contemporary art and attracts culture enthusiasts from all over the world.

El Muelle Uno is a great place to enjoy harbor life and relax - with wonderful views of the Mediterranean and the city. A great tour destination that should not be missed when cycling in the region.

La Farola of Málaga

Highlight • Monument

The lighthouse in Malaga, known as La Farola de Malaga, is an iconic landmark of the Andalusian port city. It is located at the port of Malaga and is one of the few lighthouses in Spain named in the feminine form. “Farola” means “The Lighthouse Woman”. La Farola was built in 1817 and has served as a landmark for ships heading to the port ever since. Over the years, the lighthouse has been modernized to meet the demands of modern shipping. It stands on the Paseo de la Farola, a popular promenade that runs along the port. In addition to its practical function, the Farola also has symbolic value and represents the maritime spirit of Malaga.

The lighthouse itself is about 38 meters high and has a very characteristic cylindrical shape, making it an unmistakable element of the Malaga skyline. Especially at sunset, the area around the lighthouse offers beautiful views of the sea and the city. A great destination for a tour in Malaga.
