Gravel

Alhaurín el Grande→Fuengirola→Mijas→

Discover one of the finest gravel routes in Málaga on this adventurous loop through the hills above the Costa del Sol. Starting from Terral Bike Shop, you swap the tarmac for tracks and set off toward a landscape of mountains, countryside and open sky.

First, the ride carries you inland toward Entrerríos, where the gravel begins in earnest. Soon, a smooth and scenic track climbs steadily toward Puerto de los Pescadores. Moreover, the surrounding slopes of the Sierra de Mijas frame every turn with wild, natural beauty.

As you press on, the route rolls toward Mijas, the whitewashed village perched high above the coast. Consequently, the scenery keeps changing, and the varied terrain keeps the ride engaging from start to finish.

Next comes the highlight for many riders: the descent through Osunillas. Here, the track flows beautifully downhill, and the fun, playful gradients reward every bit of the earlier effort. Furthermore, the blend of gravel and paved sections adds real variety to the adventure.

This gravel route in Málaga suits riders who love mixed surfaces, mountain scenery and a genuine sense of exploration. Therefore, it delivers the perfect balance of challenge, flow and Andalusian charm in a compact outing.

Finally, you return to Terral Bike Shop with dusty tyres, a big smile and memories of a truly rewarding gravel adventure. So pack your kit, choose your bike and set off to explore the tracks above the coast.
