The Costa del Sol is luxury living. Thousands of high-net-worth individuals worldwide call this Mediterranean paradise home. Its endless sunshine and sparkling beaches, unmatched cultural scene, are just a few of the many reasons why such a large number of people opt for a life of luxury within its borders. But for those interested in a more leisurely manner of enjoying the beauty of its coast, the Costa del Sol offers another way to enjoy its picturesque coastline-- ride along on a bicycle.
For those contemplating a move to, or investment in, this corner of Spain, cycling along the coast may prove an entertaining rather than simply recreational means of acquainting oneself with the natural beauty and free-flowing lifestyle in the area.
A Cyclist's Paradise: The Paseo Marítimo
The major highlight for cyclists lies in the outstanding Paseo Marítimo: a promenade running along the coastline from Málaga down to Marbella. This well-presented path really is an ideal casual route for both a recreational cyclist and the more dedicated cyclist, as it will have breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea at each bend. The road is generally flat, making it accessible to all ages and levels of fitness, and dotted along the route are quaint little beachside cafés where you can stop and take a break over a coffee or a cool drink.
Paseo Marítimo takes off in Málaga and takes you through some of the most panoramic views along the coastline. Along the way, you will see golden sandy beaches, bustling ports and marinas, and lively coast towns. In many areas, the seafront is lined with palm trees that provide shade for the rider, even on the warmest of summer days. If you are looking to do a longer ride, then you can continue up to Marbella where the path ends near the famous Golden Mile—a stretch of luxury real estate that epitomises the opulent lifestyle of the Costa del Sol.

Lifestyle of Leisure and Adventure
Cycling through Costa del Sol brings much more than mere exercise; it's a chance to learn the Mediterranean lifestyle that makes this place so special. Imagine your morning ride along the coast and the sea breeze on your hair while listening to the rhythm of the waves. Stop at one of the many beach clubs or chiringuitos (beach bars) to enjoy a leisurely breakfast or brunch after a gentle ride.
For the adventurous cyclists, beyond the Paseo Marítimo, there are several routes. Scenic routes crisscross the region, with countryside and rolling hills, and quaint inland villages to stop and visit. From rugged long routes for the pros to easy, more leisurely outings for those who may not feel comfortable with physical exertion, there's a route for everyone.
But cycling alone isn't enough, of course. Costa del Sol offers world-class golf courses, exclusive polo clubs, and some of the best shopping opportunities in all of Spain. After a day of active outdoor fun, enjoy gourmet dining at one of the many fine restaurants, or take a step back and simply relax in your elegant villa with panoramic views of the Mediterranean.
