Alternative Bike Tour Malaga Ride

A Side Of Malaga That Tourists Rarely See. Cycle from Soho, through industry lost and to paradise found!

Book An Alternative Bike Tour

On our Alternative Malaga Bike Ride you will enjoy a sporty cycle of approximately 24 kms (round trip) to the west side of Malaga and see parts of the city that most tourists rarely get to see!

Discover cool street art murals painted by world-famous graffiti artists such as OBEY and D*FACE in the SOHO neighbourhood of Malaga. This once upper class neighbourhood that fell into decline over the years is now becoming the alternative, artistic part of town.

Passing by the Contemporary Art Museum of Malaga, we then head towards the industrial part of the port and out to the western beaches of the city. Here, rising up between the palm trees, you'll discover tall brick chimneys- a tribute to Malaga’s once important industrial past.

You'll hear about the growth of Malaga as a powerful giant of industry in the mid-1800’s and all about the factors that led to its decline in the early 1900’s- as well as some local romantic anecdotes.

Our final destination is to one of the hidden gems of Malaga- the Nature Reserve of the River Guadalhorce. Cycle along trails lined by tall grasses and wild flowers, around lagoons filled with many different species of birds and enjoy a local snack while taking a break at the only wild beach on the Malaga coastline.

And if you’re lucky, you may even see a flamingo or two. An unforgettable off the beaten track experience!

  • "My husband, toddler and I went on a three-hour city bike tour with this company on the final day of our holiday. We had the most amazing time! It was the highlight of our holiday, and even though I was a little worried about taking our 3-year old, he had a brilliant time too and still talks about it now even though we’re home. Our tour leader, Linde, was lovely and she showed us so much of the beautiful city of Malaga. She was also really good with our son and made the tour really enjoyable. I recommend everybody to use this company. You won’t regret going on this tour! :)"

  • "We did the 15h English tour with Nicolette. She was lovely and very passionate about Málaga, which made the experience that much more enjoyable and interesting! The tour went over the time allotted, which suited our group. Fair warning, this was just an overview of the major points of the city, but still a great way to see the city, learn about the local culture, and make plans on where to go back to and discover more in depth. Fun for the whole family!"

  • "If you are visiting Malaga this is a must. What a fabulous time we had. Our tour leader Jesus was simply amazing. His enthusiasm and knowledge were brilliant, but his sense of humour was absolutely captivating. We also loved his passion for his country and his stories. We cannot speak highly enough of him. This is the second time we have done this experience and will certainly bring more friends along for this very enjoyable few hours. Thank you!"
