We start the tour in the center of Málaga, in the Soho area, from the company Ebike Málaga (C/Casas de Campo, 2).
From there, and with the directions from the E-bike Málaga staff, we easily find the bike lane that takes us toward the east of Málaga.
Starting this route, we pass through some points in the city center, such as Plaza de la Marina and the beginning of Calle Larios. Continuing our way, we come across the La Malagueta Bullring, inaugurated in 1876 and declared a Site of Cultural Interest.
We make a short stop to take some photos, but decide not to go inside we’ll save that for another day! We’ll come back to visit the area again and also enter the English Cemetery to learn about its fascinating history.
Today we want to reach Rincón de la Victoria and enjoy the Sculpture Route there, so we head down to the promenade via the bike lane next to the bullring, continuing our journey along La Malagueta and the Paseo Marítimo a popular area for cyclists and pedestrians.
The bike lane is well marked and allows you to enjoy the ride by the sea, passing iconic spots like the Miramar Hotel and the Balneario Baños del Carmen.
We arrive in Pedregalejo, an old fishermen’s neighborhood. The low houses and traditional boats on the sand preserve the authentic atmosphere.
Next, we pass through El Palo, with a similar vibe and famous for its beachfront “chiringuitos” serving typical Málaga-style fish.
We continue toward Puerto del Candado, where we find marina facilities and a traditional tavern perfect for a quick stop.
From here, the landscape becomes more natural, and the traffic decreases.
Just over a kilometer ahead appears the Peñón del Cuervo, a beautiful rock formation in the sea on a quiet beach popular with locals.
Concerts are often held here, and there’s a barbecue area with tables and benches we take a short break before continuing toward Rincón de la Victoria, riding our e-bikes along the Gran Senda Litoral de Málaga, a coastal route that runs between cliffs offering spectacular sea views, tunnels, and watchtowers.
Rincón de la Victoria is a residential and tourist area that transforms into an open-air museum, where every street and square features sculptures narrating the rich history of the city.
The works of the Sculpture Route, made from various materials, appear in roundabouts and corners, inviting passersby to stop and appreciate their beauty, as well as discover the meaning of their location.
Some of the most remarkable works we can see include the “Phoenician Goddess Malac (Noctiluca)” by sculptor Jaime Fernández Pimentel, located on the Virgen del Carmen Promenade, paying tribute to the Phoenician deities that inhabited these coasts in the 8th century BC.
The Phoenicians, who sailed across the Mediterranean, founded settlements near natural harbors along the Malaga coast and worshiped the goddess Malac with offerings and sacrifices during times of drought.
Also worth seeing is the “Bust in Tribute to the Health Workers of Rincón de la Victoria” by Nicolás Torres, located on the Blas Infante Promenade in La Cala del Moral, near the cliffs of El Cantal and the niche that houses the image of the Virgen del Carmen, patron saint of sailors.
Another highlight is “The Little Prince” by Aurelio Torres, on the Paseo de los Acantilados de El Cantal inspired by the famous quote “What is essential is invisible to the eye.”
This artistic journey not only beautifies the urban landscape but also offers a deep connection with the region’s cultural roots, making it a must-do experience for residents and visitors who want to immerse themselves in the historical and artistic heritage of Rincón de la Victoria.
On our way back to the shop to end our day, we pass through the Port of Málaga, one of the oldest continuously operating ports in the Mediterranean.
The final stretch takes us along Muelle Uno, a modern space filled with shops and restaurants, and we finish at the Palmeral de las Sorpresas, pedaling between palm trees along the bike lane.
Once back at the shop, we are warmly welcomed, and the bikes are collected and cleaned by the friendly staff.
The complete route combines history, culture, and sea views, offering a broad and authentic perspective of Málaga and its coastal surroundings making it both enjoyable and highly recommended.
