“Cycling to the Med and Málaga. Thank you for the wonderful experience of biking in Spain! This was our first biking trip and we would definitely do it again! Riding in Alhama was our favourite experience. Biking through the mountains to the coast was spectacular and we followed all your helpful recommendations❤️ We also got extremely lucky with the weather. We will cherish the memory of this adventure 🙏 Warmest regards!” N. & A. Giurici – Calgary, Can – November 2023

“Thanks for such a nice Mediterranean bike tour!! We had an awesome time and really enjoyed the mix of inland country cycling and then the glorious beach time at the coast. Brilliant! Great hotels and really good bikes too. Cheers for everything.” K. Eastwood – London, UK – October 2023

“Just a note to say, thanks again for the bike to the Med tour, we recently cycled. We very much enjoyed the entire trip and found it a great area to explore. We love cycling Andalucia and can’t get over how respectful the drivers are!!! Hoping to come back and do another self-led trip with you guys soon!” P. Hansen – Maine, USA – October 2023

“A big thank you for our last tour (Cycling to the Med) with you! Wonderful organization and your provided written materials – history, maps, Apps, et. were really top notch and gave a great over view of the history. Wow, very cool. Very much enjoyed the route and especially the Nerja Parador hotel on the beach! Look forward to another trip with you. Gracias! :)” C. & B. DeRosa -Toronto, Canada – September 2023

“A group of 4 of us did the self guided “Cycle to the Med” tour in early March and it was a lovely experience! It was all of our first times booking a cycling tour which was a bit nerve wracking at first, but Cycling Country made it all a breeze. They provide so much information— the Ride with GPS app has accurate routes, some warnings and notes, and restaurant recommendations. They also provide historical notes through the app and their guide book. When we were corresponding with the team from Cycling Country beforehand, they had ensured us that we wouldn’t need to do much planning beforehand and that was really true! Everything you need is in the guide book and app which made it easy for us to just focus on the beautiful scenery and cycling. I think some minimal planning beforehand and reading up on history was good enough and then the rest of the information you can easily learn through the resources the team provides you. The whole team was also super helpful and nice the whole trip through. The routes themselves were fantastic. There’s a few different options per day and Geoff (who we met with on our first day) gave us some great pointers for the routes (where you should be more careful, what to expect from each ride, etc). We all preferred the quieter routes in the mountains as it gets quite busy in the city so if you do this tour, definitely take advantage of the longer routes that go through the small towns. The hotels were absolutely beautiful as well!! Perhaps we were lucky with the hotels because we came during off season, but we were all very impressed by the choices that were booked. We would for sure book another trip with Geoff and Maggi in the future! We had such an incredible experience and it will be a trip to remember!” A. Zeng – Montréal, Canada – March 2023

“My husband and I just finished the absolutely fantastic Cycle to the Med self-guided bike trip from Cycling Country. I cannot say enough good things about working with this company and its fabulous owners, Geoff and Maggi. From my first email inquiry to the amazing end-of-ride lunch spot they recommended and everything in between, it was a flawless, top-notch experience. This route is a newer offering for them, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The scenery was beautiful and varied. There was mix of challenging climbs, thrilling descents and breathtaking coastal riding. The hotels were all excellent–and quite different. Geoff and Maggi were super accommodating and worked with us (even mid-ride) to tweak a few things. They clearly know the area inside and out, and all of their restaurant recommendations and points of interest were divine! Highly recommend!” M. Orth – Seattle, Washington, USA – October 2021

“Cycling near Málaga! All of it. The hotels were great, the cycling excellent and the personal service outstanding. The weather was also kind to us!” S. Otty – Bristol, UK – October 2021

“Fantastic trip to Malaga! We had a wonderful short self-guided trip in the hills above Malaga and enjoyed all aspects of it The places where we stayed were excellent in their varied ways – all very comfortable. The routes were interesting and even the long up-hills were easy on the well set-up e-bikes .The support we got from Cycling Country was fantastic ; it felt very personal and we will certainly recommend them and be back for more ourselves.” A. Bruges – UK – October 2021

The main advantage of booking a tour is that you get an experienced local guide that will show you all the important landmarks and locations in the city.

Without expert guidance, you might miss out on a lot of the local places and insights that will help you understand the city better.

Another benefit of using a tour guide is the fact that they will navigate you through the safest routes to these landmarks. The traffic in Malaga is very busy and can be quite chaotic for someone who doesn’t know the city. Not all drivers are considerate of cyclists, and the cycling paths are not exactly extensive or cover the whole city.

Using an e-bike is also super beneficial if you’re staying in Malaga in summer or autumn when the temperatures hit peak numbers. Exploring on an e-bike instead of walking or using a standard bike will save you from complete exhaustion while allowing you to see more of the city.

The only time when I would advise against using an e-bike tour is when you already visited Malaga previously, and have seen all the main places. In that case, it’s better to rent an e-bike and prepare your own self-guided tour to the places you haven’t seen yet.

Alternatively, you can also check the out-of-town e-bike experiences featured in the article.

ELECTRIC BIKE RENTAL

Electric bike rental gives you the most flexibility when planning the route of your exploration, and it will also allow you to use the bike for the whole day, not just a few hours.

It’s the perfect option for those who have already visited Malaga, and want to plan a custom itinerary , or simply enjoy a leisure ride through the city without a particular route in mind.

Keep in mind, that the traffic in Malaga is very busy with lots of big junctions to navigate through. The cycling paths are also very limited, so you need to be very careful if you navigate the city on your own.

BOOKING YOUR MALAGA E-BIKE TOUR

To book your electric bike tour in Malaga, you just need to check the availability and book your spot. In almost all the tours featured above, you get free cancellation up to 24 hours before the trip.

This flexibility is an added bonus especially if you travel in the off-season months and the weather might change, affecting your plans.

When you book your e-bike tour, you will receive an email with detailed instructions on where you can pick up your e-bike and also what to bring with you (usually you will need your passport).

The company will also provide helmets you should wear, and sometimes you also get a complimentary bottle of water.

Please read the email carefully as some companies may require a cash deposit on the day of the rental.

Why Malaga Bike?

Founded in 2008 by Kay Farrell, MALAGA BIKE is the pioneer bike tours & rental company in Malaga. In that first year of business, one of our customers commented to Kay that as the business grew, it would be impossible to keep up the level of service we offered. Now, well over a decade later, we are proud to say that even though we have grown in size we have maintained that high standard of customer service over the years. The fact that we have been consistently rated as the no. 1 bike company in Malaga on Tripadvisor throughout all these years we believe is proof of that. 

 Our enthusiastic team has an excellent reputation for offering the best customer service in town. We all share one thing: PASSION. Passion for bikes and above all, passion for Malaga! And after so many years of experience in the bike business, we are experts in spreading Malaga’s WOW factor. 

We value each and every customer. Our team is ready and waiting to give you personalised attention to help you find the perfect bike rental and share all of our favourite bike routes with you. And besides, we’ve got all kinds of insider’s tips on tapas bars, the best restaurants, festivals, flamenco shows, etc. Just think of us as your personal Malaga concierge!
