Come and join us on a Road cycling weekend to the beautiful coastal village of La Herradura, close to Málaga. Here you can ride in some very impressive mountain ranges with spectacular views over the Mediterranean, and stay next to the beach. During 3 days our experienced guide will guide you through his best rides.
Enjoy spectacular mountain sceneries while you are cruising through fruit valleys, traditional Spanish white-washed villages and along dramatic coastlines. Serendipitous trails pass along leafy valleys with avocado and mango groves. Costa Tropical is very cycling friendly with plenty of quiet roads for road cycling. It’s a popular destination for cycling with varied terrain including mountains, rolling hills and a beautiful coastline and year-round sunny weather. Road cycling offers smooth road surfaces along the coast and in the mountains, lack of traffic and plenty of beautiful white-washed villages where you can enjoy a coffee or tapas.
You will be staying 3 nights in a small beachfront hotel in the charming village of La Herradura, a hidden gem that is situated around a beautiful bay. The village lies in the stunning coastal area called Costa Tropical, a relatively unknown stretch of Spain’s southern coastline.
After an action-packed day in the saddle, you can enjoy a rest on the beach or even take a refreshing swim. All this in the best climate in Europe. Both the sun and the mountains will energize your body and soul and we promise the views will be stunning!
