"The whole team was great. Nothing was too much trouble, our itinerary was spot on and was tweaked on the fly according to our wishes and how the group was traveling. Can't recommend them enough, with a special shout out to Peter who was with us for the entire time and really made the trip something special."

- Mark, Australia

"Awesome service, we rented 2 Kona’s to ride the Vies Verde to Olot, the staff in the the rental shop was top notch. I’ve been a competitive cyclist for 30 years and I’ve seen a lot, these guys are number 1 in my book! Already looking forward to a longer stay in Girona."

Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Malaga

Meet your guides at the cycle hub at noon. Get set up on your bikes and ready to enjoy our warm-up ride along the coast. We'll ride out and back to the town of Rincon de la Victoria. In the evening get to know your guides and ride companions for the week with an evening meal in Málaga city center.

Day 2 Malaga's White Villages

Our first full day of riding features the best of everything Malaga has to offer, sparkling coastal routes and winding mountain roads beside mango and avocado farms. The views over the Montes de Malaga and out towards the coast at the summit will not disappoint!

Day 3 Ride El Chorro

Fuel up with a hearty breakfast at the hotel before riding west out of the city to ride El Chorro and see the Caminito del Rey, a walkway pinned against the steep walls of the narrow El Chorro gorge. We'll enjoy another evening meal together tonight in the city.

Day 4 Puerto Del Leon

Today's ride is shorter, allowing time for a relaxing afternoon at the beach or exploring Málaga's old town. Locally known as 'La Reina' (the queen) this is a classic 20 km climb starting from Málaga city centre. Climb up above the city on steady gradients. Regroup for coffee and bite to eat at the bar at the summit, then enjoy a twisty descent back to the coast. Ride back into the city of the flat coast road.

Day 5 El Torcal De Anteqeura

Today we ride north to the El Torcal de Antequera. This stunning natural park is home to milennia-old rock formations that used to form the seabed. It's another day of climbing but El Torcal is worth every second plus the route home is mostly downhill!

Day 6 Costa Del Sol

For our final ride of the camp we'll enjoy a fast and flat(ish) ride out along the coast to the village of Nerja. Enjoy lunch at the beach before returning back the way we came. Tonight we'll share stories and celebrate a great week of riding with our final meal together at our favourite spot in Málaga.

Day 7 Departures from Malaga

On the seventh and final day of the tour, the time has come to say farewell. Enjoy a final breakfast at the hotel and a stroll around the city centre (if there is time!) before starting the journey home. And remember, the sun-kissed roads of Málaga are always just a plane-ride away!
