to Almeria
E-Bike: 3h 48 / day
Bike: 5h 10 / day
This seven-day cycling route across Andalusia runs from Málaga to Almería via the Montes de Málaga, Granada, the northern side of the Sierra Nevada and back to the Mediterranean. Over roughly 399 kilometres and more than 7,600 metres of climbing, the route links long ascents, quiet mountain roads, olive groves, badlands, high-altitude terrain and white hillside villages. The first days leave Málaga for the dry inland hills, before Granada brings the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada into view. From there, the tour gets higher, quieter and more alpine: Collado del Alguacil, La Calahorra, Puerto de la Ragua and Ohanes are key points along the way. The final stage drops towards Almería and the sea. Create a free account to see the full route, all stages, maps, GPX files and tour details.
