Malaga is one of the eight Andalusian provinces with the largest influx of travelers. Many of them do it for that piece of coast that looks towards the Mediterranean, but many others prefer their mountainous areas, in whose mountains it is almost a pleasure to get lost.

 

When talking about a big city, it is almost inevitable to think about pollution, noise or hustle and bustle. And on many occasions, this is usually a reason to refuse to visit a place. However, even though this is true and sometimes inevitable, large cities are evolving towards more sustainable models of coexistence.

 

So, if you are an urbanite from head to toe and would not reject the visit to the city of Malaga for anything in the world, here is a totally recommendable option and, of course, ecofriendly: rent electric bicycles. Exactly, for you, it is difficult to imagine a visit to Malaga and not enjoy its streets or its promenade, there is already a solution. Let it not be said that ecotourism is only possible on the mountain.

 

However, if you are an adventurer of pure strain, you have already asked yourself: where is the adrenaline? Where are the trekking routes? Quiet, here are other options, both at sea and in the mountains.

 

As for adventure sports on the coast (and not only in Malaga, but in the whole country), we find one of the star options: kayak or paddle surfing . Although there are also indoor, of course.

 

These routes, in addition to the fun that accompanies them, are also a learning tool, since the local guide who accompanies you on the journey tells you, with that passion and love that they put, what happened between those coves and corners to which, in other times, only fishermen, and occasional hustlers, arrived.

 

On the other hand, adventure in the mountains is no less exciting than in the water; in part, because the options, in many cases, multiply. In Malaga, which can boast several Natural Parks, you can take advantage of the opportunity to descend rivers or to cross paths through the different mountain ranges.

Do you need a little push more?

 

To get into the mountain the heat is not a very good ally. However, if your visit to the province of Malaga is in the middle of winter, and your goal is to embark on an experience through its mountains, you will be very grateful to have a shining sun on your shoulders. It is one of the many advantages of practicing ecotourism in the heart of the Costa del Sol.

 

Each of them has its particularities and, as a consequence, a different way of enjoying it. Take note: in the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park you will find the La Maroma Peak, the highest point of the province, and to reach it, most impressive routes.

Their activities are directed by qualified guides who love their land, and they struggle every day to make tourism a tool that benefits them, and not that it harms them. Therefore, take advantage of their services and then the benefit will be mutual, because nobody better than them will discover you Malaga.

 

Recently restored, the Caminito del Rey has become one of the biggest attractions of the province of Malaga. A road that is now safer, and that also has landscapes of different morphologies, most of them of the most vertiginous. In addition, it is a plan that you can do with your family, as long as your children have already completed their 8 years.

 

The Sierra de Grazalema, on horseback between Málaga and Cádiz, is one of the rainiest spots in Spain. This might not be of much interest, unless you were an unconditional lover of rain. But it can be interesting if you are one of those who, in your escapades, you get distracted by finding a rare species. And in Grazalema it is not that there is any rare species, but there is a real relic of the past: the pinsapo. A species that some call a living fossil.

You can choose the one that best suits your level. Although, yes, the idea of ​​the ravine will continue waiting for you.
