Did you know that the slogan of the province of Malaga is 'Costa del Sol, always warm? In these cold days we tell you about the cycling getaway to the province of Malaga that we are preparing. Accommodation: the Bikefriendly Palladium Costa del Sol hotel.
There's nothing like a wave of snow and cold to make you long for the coast and the sun. And even more so when we are bike crazy and we spend the week waiting for the weekend to arrive so we can enjoy the Cycling no hurries. So we have set ourselves the goal Benalmádena and go see the Bikefriendly accommodation soon Palladium Hotel Costa del Sol.
Yes, that Today's rollers are very good…but there is nothing like pedaling outdoors. And that is why in these cold times, those of us who live in mountain areas or areas famous for their strong winds are looking forward to the sun returning so we can get back on the bike without fear of flying away or returning home on the verge of hypothermia.
With the bike to the Costa del Sol
Therefore, in winter and autumn it is easy to dream about the Sunshine Coast and with its possibilities as cycle tourism destination. You don't know how comforting a weekend getaway to warmer lands is. Put the bike rack on the car, load the skinny girl (if you're on the road) or the little donkey (if you're on the mountain) and start off thinking about the places you're going to reach with the strength of your legs after a little while of riding the bike. best cycling routes on the Costa del Sol trust your favorite mobile app.
We have already started planning our cycling getaway to the Costa del Sol and everything is taking shape. We will leave home on Friday after lunch and head to Benalmádena (Málaga).
Spa and grilled fish to gain strength
We will have a reservation for two nights in the bike friendly hotel Palladium Hotel Costa del Sol. Upon arrival, we will enjoy a little spa time to disconnect from the work week and the computers. Afterwards, and now in the right mood for a proper weekend getaway, we will have dinner rice and grilled fish at the Poseidon restaurant. A la carte menu and Mediterranean-style cuisine while we contemplate the sea in the background and speculate about the cycling routes we will travel the next day.
On Friday, go to sleep early, because on Saturday it's time to get up early so that you have time to enjoy the Costa del Sol by bike in conditions.
Cycling routes from Benalmádena
We have decided that we will be part of the layout of The Great Path of Malaga. Stage 34 goes from Benalmádena to Alhaurín de la Torre and allows you to discover the Sierra of Mijas on an affordable route, classified as medium mountain since it runs along old paths. The experience will allow us to enjoy spectacular panoramic views from the Sierra de Mijas and perhaps we will also be part of stage 35.
For those who have more days, The Great Path of Malaga in its entirety covers 400 kilometers that allow you to get to know the province in its entirety. The Sierra de las Nieves is also a traditional cycling destination in the province of Malaga that is worth knowing. But if you are a lover of descents and have experience on the bike, you can also head towards the round mountain range, where you will find a lot of marked mountain bike trails, and try the Algatocín descent route.
Bikefriendly space and Mediterranean cuisine
And after an intense day of cycling, return to the hotel. The Palladium Hotel Costa del Sol has a Bikefriendly space to safely store your guests' bicycles and a functional workshop and washing area. In fact, he has been chosen as one of the 10 Best Bikefriendly Spaces of 2020. So we will take the opportunity to remove the accumulated mud and salt from the bikes to leave them like new for the next outing.
A shower, maybe another spa time and a cocktail in the hotel chill out style terrace, called Nix. Whatever time of year it is, we know that we will be able to enjoy a breathtaking sunset with which to forget all the cold.
For dinner, this time we will opt for the Pintarroja restaurant: Andalusian gastronomy and traditional local cuisine dishes. Our mouths are watering thinking about how good that fried fish will feel after a day of cycling.
And on Sunday... we rest, but the environment offers a lot of possibilities to continue discovering by bicycle. If after reading this you feel like convincing someone to accompany you on your own cycling getaway to Benalmádena, I think you will just have to tell them the slogan that the province of Malaga uses for its tourism promotion: Costa del Sol, always warm.
