Gravel

Cala de Mijas→Entrerrios→Fuengirola→La Mairena→

Discover one of the most varied gravel adventures in Málaga on this rewarding loop through forest, coast and countryside. Starting from Terral Bike Shop, you swap the seafront for tracks and set off toward the hills that rise above the Costa del Sol.

First, the route climbs steadily above Mijas, where the effort quickly pays off. Soon, some of the finest panoramic views on the whole coast open up beside you. Moreover, the sparkling Mediterranean stretches far into the distance as you gain height.

Next, the ride enters one of the last well-preserved Mediterranean forests in the region. Here, fragrant pines and dappled shade make this section a true highlight. Consequently, many riders rate this stretch as their favourite part of the day.

Afterwards, a flowing descent carries you down toward Cala de Mijas, a relaxed seaside town full of charm. Furthermore, the final stretch through Chaparral rolls gently onward, wrapped in a laid-back coastal atmosphere.

This gravel adventure in Málaga blends spectacular views, shaded woodland and easygoing coastal riding in a single unforgettable outing. Therefore, it suits riders who crave variety, natural beauty and a genuine sense of exploration.

Finally, you return to Terral Bike Shop with dusty tyres and a head full of memories. So pack your kit, choose your bike and set off to discover the wild side of the Costa del Sol.
