Gravel Path Under the Bridge

Highlight • Trail

This path goes under the motorway, one of the few ways to get to the other side without using one of the busy roundabouts. A good alternative, so you stay on paths that run through nature.

Málaga West Coastal Cycle Route

Highlight • Cycleway

The coastal cycle route west of Malaga is a scenic and well-developed cycle route that continues along the Costa del Sol. This route heads west from Malaga through several coastal towns and offers wonderful views of the Mediterranean, sandy beaches and beautifully designed promenades.

The cycle route is gravel on this section, otherwise mostly asphalted and well signposted. It runs partly on separate cycle lanes, partly on quiet roads or along beaches or promenades.

Guadalhorce Estuary Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Located at the mouth of the Guadalhorce River near Málaga, the Desembocadura del Guadalhorce Nature Reserve is one of the most important wetlands in Andalusia. This approximately 67-hectare protected area is an important nature reserve, particularly known for its biodiversity and as a refuge for migratory birds. The area consists of several lagoons and river branches that branch off just before the mouth into the Mediterranean. The lagoons provide the ideal habitat for a variety of animal species, especially birds.

The Desembocadura del Guadalhorce Nature Reserve is a wonderful example of how natural spaces can be preserved and protected close to cities. It offers both locals and tourists the opportunity to experience a unique natural setting right on the doorstep of Málaga.

Guadalhorce Footbridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The bridge over the Guadalhorce River is an impressive wooden walkway that provides an important link for pedestrians and cyclists. It was designed to facilitate access between the city and the natural areas around the estuary. This area is popular for its biodiversity and attracts many nature lovers.

Made from sustainable wood, the bridge blends harmoniously into the environment and is a good example of environmentally friendly infrastructure. It not only provides a functional crossing of the river, but also a place where visitors can enjoy the views of the nature reserve and the sea. Riding on the bridge by bike is a real experience in itself!

The bridge under it is scarier than the planes. The bridge is quite low compared to the bike path. You really don't have to wait long for a plane to arrive or depart. So plane spotting is possible here.
