Itinerary
1
Plaza de la Merced
We start our journey in one of the most vibrant squares in the city. Here, under the watchful eye of the Picasso statue (right in front of his birthplace!), we will introduce you to the bohemian atmosphere of Málaga and the story of its most famous artist.
2
Plaza de toros de La Malagueta
Located right next to the beach, we admire this majestic Neo-Mudejar building dating back to 1876. Your guide will explain the architecture, the history of this venue, and its cultural significance to the city of Málaga throughout the centuries.
3
Playa de La Malagueta
We finish the coast loop at the famous city beach. Here, we’ll show you the traditional "Chiringuitos" (beach bars) and explain what "Espetos" are (and where to eat the best ones!). It’s the perfect spot to feel the summer vibe before heading back.
4
Puerto de Malaga
Time to feel the sea breeze. We cycle through the modern, sleek Promenade (Palmeral), passing the colourful "Cube" (Pompidou Centre). It’s a smooth, relaxing ride with the best views of the skyline and the yachts.
5
La Farola
We reach the symbol of our coast: La Farola. Did you know it’s one of the few lighthouses in Spain with a feminine name? We’ll tell you why, while you enjoy the panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea.
6
La Calle Larios
We cruise near the "living room" of Málaga. Calle Larios is the elegant heartbeat of the city, famous for its marble floors and stunning architecture. Your guide will share the secrets of the Marquis of Larios and the city’s 19th-century transformation.
7
Malaga Cathedral
Meet "La Manquita" (The One-Armed Lady). We stop at this Renaissance masterpiece to explain the funny legend of why its second tower was never finished. It is the most iconic religious building in the city and truly majestic from the ground up.
8
Mercado de Atarazanas
A feast for the senses. We stop at this stunning market, housed in a historic 14th-century Moorish shipyard. Admire the giant stained-glass window depicting the city’s history while smelling the fresh local produce, seafood, and spices that define our gastronomy.
9
Jardines de Pedro Luis Alonso
Discover a hidden oasis right next to the majestic Town Hall. We will cycle through these beautiful gardens, famous for their fragrant rose bushes and orange trees. It offers one of the best angles to view the Gibralfaro castle towering above us, away from the crowds.
10
Antigua Casa De Guardia
We make a special stop at the oldest tavern in Málaga, founded in 1840. Here, time seems to have stood still. We’ll peek inside to see the barrels of famous Málaga sweet wine and tell you why the bills are still written with chalk on the wooden counter. A true piece of living history.
