MALAGA BIKE PARK

This “bike park” isn’t a typical lift-served bike park — it’s actually a network of 100% natural, beautifully maintained forest singletracks that flow really well. It’s the closest thing we have to a UK-style bike park in our area.

It’s located at the foot of the Montes de Málaga Natural Park, just above Málaga city — about a 45-minute drive from our base in Fuengirola.

We start with the Green House trail: a short, super-smooth singletrack packed with little gap jumps and berms that ends on the outskirts of the city.
The van picks us up so we can session it 2 or 3 times.

Next, we climb to the high point at El Mirador for spectacular views over Málaga, then drop down a longer, looser and rockier trail (still fun and not too technical) all the way to the main forest area.

There we play on a small pump track before climbing the fire road (15-20 min, not steep — e-bikes make it easy) to access a wide variety of cool natural trails. We usually session them 2 or 3 times.

Lunch is at a typical Spanish bar just down the hill, with the van shuttling us back up afterwards.

When we’re done, we head back to Fuengirola, with an optional stop in Mijas for anyone who still has energy to ride down San Antón.
