About the ride

Ride west from Nerja along the coast through Torrox Costa and Algarrobo Costa to the fishing port of Caleta de Vélez.

Continue to Torre del Mar, where a three-kilometre seafront cycle lane offers lovely Mediterranean views.

Before you set off

This is probably the easiest route in the area as there are only a couple of very gentle short hills.

In the Summer months the coastal road is always a bit busier than usual so we recommend an early start.

TIP   Try the Espetos de Sardinas cooked on the beach by the local beach bars,
