CYCLING AND BIKE TOURING FROM SALOBREÑA

If you like cycling Salobreña and Costa Tropical is your perfect destination. The area offers plenty of cycling routes (MTB and ROAD) by several natural spaces.

You will be able to enjoy the view of coastal towns, valleys full of tropical fruits, inland white towns and mountains.

Salobreña offers countless advantages for everyone who wants to go cycling.

Situated on the coast, it’s encircled by the Sierra Nevada, one of Spain’s most iconic mountain ranges.

In Salobreña, not only can we head to the coast and swim in the sea; we can also explore a route with considerable elevation change that’s suitable for all kinds of cycling: from the most professional level at one end of the scale, to cycling with the family at the other.

We can wind our way through fertile plains or ascend to the heights of the Sierra Nevada.

One of the most attractive and demanding routes we can access from Salobreña is the Puerto de la Cabra: a 135 km circular route with a cumulative elevation change of 2800 metres. Its attractiveness lies in the elevation change and the winding mountain roads, and above all because it takes us to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, where the route culminates and we then make our way back to Salobreña, ending up at the beach where we started. One of the gentlest and most tranquil routes to enjoy with the family is the Caña de Azúcar: departing from Salobreña, we pass through the surrounding fertile plains, admiring the sub-tropical crops, before reaching the River Guadalfeo and making our way back along the shore of the Mediterranean.

The climate, the temperature and above all the stunning views ensure a spectacular day out with the family. If you’re looking for a tranquil route without any major challenges, then Los Guájares is a great option. The route departs from Salobreña and makes its way to Guájar Alto, covering some 60 km with a cumulative elevation change of 1000 metres along a very quiet road. It also takes you to the beach, offering an opportunity to dismount and relax.
