From the sea to the mountains and back to the Mediterranean.
This circular route starts on the coast of Torremolinos and takes cyclists through some of the most varied landscapes in the province: the climb to Benalmádena, the slopes of Mijas, and the fertile valleys of Cártama and Churriana. A full day of cycling with a local flavor — tejeringos included.

From the sunny streets of Marbella, the route enters the Sierra Blanca, ascending between gentle curves and Mediterranean pine forests. Passing through Ojén opens the door to a wilder and more mountainous environment, where the ascent to El Juanar offers silence, shade and wide views towards the coast.

From Coín, the route unfolds northward between fields and mountains. After passing through charming villages, El Chorro is reached, where the canyons and the Caminito del Rey (King’s Little Path) mark the climax of a long, mountainous and spectacular journey.

From the coast next to the Parador de Golf, the route moves away from the sea to ascend inland. Between fields and white villages, the route gains altitude on the way to Mijas, with views that alternate between the coast and the mountains before returning to Torremolinos.

From the Balcón de Europa, the route follows the coast before turning inland. After crossing La Herradura, the road becomes more demanding and quiet, ascending towards the Puerto de los Castillejos between mountains, pine forests and open views of the sea.

In a few kilometers, the urban noise transforms into open countryside. The gentle hills lead to Almogía and, further on, the landscape becomes more rugged towards Villanueva, where the silhouette of the Torcal looms between olive groves and solitary mountains.
