We focus on recreational cyclists. While the scenery is beautiful, the routes can be challenging, with long stretches, steep hills, and surprising bends. That is why we recommend riding these routes with an electric-assisted bicycle. This makes the tour manageable for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness. With an e-bike, you can fully enjoy the surroundings and share the adventure without arriving exhausted. It’s not about speed, but about enjoying the journey together.
Whether you are looking for relaxing coastal rides or challenging mountain tours, Torrox and its surroundings offer something for everyone. With the right bike—your own or a rental—and well-planned routes, you can fully enjoy everything this beautiful part of Andalusia has to offer.
