Bicycling Malaga Spain's West Beaches to Torremolinos ( January 27, 2023)

For our winter getaway this year we switched from Arizona to Malaga Spain.
We really enjoyed bicycling along the beaches in the Malaga area. You can go to the east and west of the city center area of Malaga. This ride to the west is a collection of riding on paths, boardwalks, gravel trails, and roads. You can continue past Torremolinos another 3 miles into Benalmádena which is a beautiful area, I have a link below for the Ride with GPS tracking of that ride. There are numerous restaurants to stop and get a drink and food at along the way. The beach area through Torremolinos and Benalmádena is quite developed and newer than the east beaches of Malaga. A lot of the riding is on bike paths that are on or near the boardwalks and they are not meant for faster bicycling. I would expect that in the higher tourist season, it would be quite crowded along the boardwalk areas. We rented bikes from Bike Tours Malaga (we also took their city bike tour, which is highly recommended) www.biketoursmalaga.com/en/

Thank you for making this video. I just did this ride start of November 2023 and it is every bit as good as it looks in this video which I didn't see before I visited. Malaga is a great city to ride around. The ride out east through the city, along treelined boulevards and parks is also great. The coast ride to Velez-Malaga is very nice. Cycling in Spain is generally very agreeable if your home country is a cycle hating nation. Spanish drivers are mostly very considerate toward cyclists. You feel pretty safe.

I enjoy these relaxing rides. Its such a great way to vacation, people that take taxi's everywhere are really missing out.

I totally agree! Riding along the beaches and through the city is such a wonderful and relaxing way to see and experience things that you would miss in a car. Malaga is such a beautiful city, we wish we could go back this winter. Thanks for watching.
