Discovering Málaga by bike is one of the most rewarding ways to get under the skin of this sun-soaked Andalusian city. Flat, compact and dotted with cycle paths, it’s perfectly suited to two wheels, letting you cover more ground than on foot. Throw in a friendly local guide and a few hidden corners, and you’ve got the makings of a memorable adventure. Here are three of the best Malaga bike tours currently on offer.

Malaga Bike Tour – Old Town, Marina & Beach

Hop on a bike and explore Málaga’s highlights on this fun, easy-going three-hour tour. Starting at Plaza de la Marina, you’ll cycle through the old town, along the lively port of Muelle Uno, and past beaches lapped by the Mediterranean. Along the way, a local guide will share stories, history and day-to-day insights into the city. Stops include the Atarazanas fresh market, Gibralfaro Castle viewpoint and Picasso’s birthplace, plus a ride through the city’s colourful graffiti quarter. The route is flat and suitable for all ages, with plenty of breaks to rest and take photos. From  $37 per person.
