Take on one of the greatest mountain pass rides in Málaga on this demanding, spectacular loop through coast and sierra. Starting from Terral Bike Shop, you set off toward a landscape of towering climbs, quiet valleys and unforgettable summits.
First, the route follows the coast toward Torremolinos before turning inland into the Guadalhorce Valley. Soon, the fertile farmland gives way to rising terrain, and the day’s real work begins. Moreover, the sense of adventure grows with every kilometre.
Next comes the first great challenge: the climb toward Casarabonela and up to Puerto Martínez. Here, sustained effort lifts you high into the mountains, rewarded by breathtaking views. Consequently, reaching the summit feels like a true triumph.
As you press on, a smooth, well-paved descent sweeps you into El Burgo, a lovely mountain village deep in the Serranía. Furthermore, the final major ascent awaits: the memorable climb to Puerto de las Abejas. Afterwards, the terrain turns progressively kinder for the long run home.
This mountain pass ride in Málaga demands serious fitness, yet rewards you with dramatic scenery and a monumental sense of achievement. Therefore, it suits strong, experienced riders hungry for a full-day epic.
Finally, you return to Terral Bike Shop utterly spent but triumphant. So pack your kit, choose your bike and set off to conquer the great mountain passes above the Costa del Sol.
