Bike Rentals & Tours in Almuñécar
** Mountain Bike Tours - Sierra Nevada
Cycling in the Costa Tropical is a great activity and can be modified for beginners or advanced cyclists, depending on the routes you take. Generally, the area is very hilly and mountainous behind Almuñécar and you can often find extreme cyclists heading up into Jete for a very challenging ride.
Beginners tend to stick to the shoreline as it is long and flat and makes for a very leisurely and scenic ride, plus it's a great way to get around during the summer months as traffic increases and parking becomes hard to find.

Best Leisurely Biking Areas...
Almuñécar & La Herradura: The area around Almuñécar is rather mountainous but the village itself is flat. You can easily bike around town to see the sites and there is a fantastic coastal promenade that runs from Playa Muerto and Playa Cotobro, past the Penon, to the end of Playa Velilla (8 km). You will find numerous restaurants and sites along the way.Salobreña: In the last two years the town of Salobreña has extended its coastal promenade which now runs from Playa Guardia to Playa Punta del Rio (5 km), almost to Motril. The entire area under the Salobreña castle has also been converted into a great biking area.
Motril: Motril also has a great coastal road that is flat, long, and scenic. You can continue from Salobreña and bike past Playa Granada and Playa Poniente to the Port of Motril (6 km).
Top Moderate to Advanced Biking Routes
If you are athletic and looking for a more challenging ride, then head into the hills behind Almuñécar. This area is visually stunning but very steep. The Costa Tropical is known for being a favorite spot for professional cyclists practicing for the Tour de France because the terrain is so similar.See a full list of Almunecar Biking Routes here.

The Via Verde
We can't put together a page on cycling and not mention the Via Verde in Malaga. It's about 2-hours by car but it's one of the best biking trails in Andalucia, so well worth the trip.The route is 38 km long and is an award-winning hiking / bicycling trail along an old abandoned rail line that once connected the villages of Olvera and Puerto Serrano.
If you are interested, we have more information on the Via Verde on our Olvera page. The village of Olvera is one of Spain's most beautiful "white villages" and also worth a visit.
