벨레즈 말라가 최고의 사이클링 경로

The ascent to Puerto del León follows a winding, paved road characterized by a consistently steep gradient, particularly noticeable in the switchbacks. The route leads through the foothills of the Montes de Málaga, past wooded slopes, scattered olive groves, and small fields. Upon reaching the upper sections, a view opens up to the mountainous landscape of the Axarquía region, with its gentle mountain ranges and deep valleys. The road itself snakes through the mountains, with the gradient frequently alternating between moderate and challenging, demanding both stamina and pedaling technique. The route, combined with the altitude, offers an intense experience of nature and riding.

The tunnel at La Araña lies directly on the coast and is a remnant of the historic Málaga to Vélez-Málaga railway line, built at the beginning of the 20th century. Blasted through the rock to carry the railway along the steep coast, it is now part of the coastal cycle path. Connecting the La Araña coastal area with the adjacent beaches, the tunnel runs close to the Mediterranean Sea. Today, it offers cyclists a sheltered passage along the cliffs and is a striking feature of the coastal promenade in this section.
