Cycling Costa del Sol | El Chorro and El Caminito del Rey

Our customers enjoy cycling at El Chorro and El Caminito del Rey routes.

El Chorro ("The Cascade") is a small village located in Málaga (Andalusia) in southern Spain, near the town of Álora. It is one of the most popular rock climbing attractions in Spain as it is located next to Desfiladero de los Gaitanes ("Gorge of the Gaitanes").

This village is frequented by cyclists, hikers, and campers.

Gorge of the Gaitanes is famous for a scary walkway called Caminito del Rey (King's Pathway) which hangs 100m above the base of the gorge. The path provided access to a hydro-electric system and took its name from an official visit by Alfonso XIII of Spain in 1921. 

The gorge runs from the outlet of the "Embalse del Gaitanejo" to "El Chorro". There are two extremely narrow sections at each end of the gorge with a wider bowl in between. In addition to the re-furbished walkway, the old Málaga-Cordoba railway line runs through the gorge in a set of tunnels and bridges.

The gorge features prominently as a place of escape and refuge for the main characters played by Stephen Boydand Brigitte Bardot in the 1958 movie The Night Heaven Fell.
The railway and sections of the Caminito were used in the final location shots of the 1965 adventure film Von Ryan's Express.

They are funny places where to enjoy exclusive cycling with our local guides and our high end full carbon road bike rental services provided by our company with delivery at your accommodation in Malaga, Andalusia region of Spain.

Voikokilia gold sandy beach in Grece

Three most beautiful beaches in Messinia:

• Kolopanas, near Petrochori
• Glossa, frequented by naturists
• Voikokilia: the most beautiful beach in Messinia, about 40 km from Kalamata, between the sea and the Gialova lagoon.

Voidokilia is the most popular beach in Messinia: it overlooks the Ionian Sea in the historical region of Peloponnese, in Greece. Its fine sand forms a semicircular strip of dunes, similar to the omega letter. It is part of Natura 2000, a protected area and bird habitat.

Above the beach of Voidokilia is the Nestor's Cave, and above still there are the ruins of the thirteenth century which once made up the magnificence of the castle of old Pylos or Palaiokastro.

Today, despite its historical relevance, Voidokilia is trampled on by tourists: all eager to enjoy its beauty from the fine sand and emerald sea that enters the curious omega-shaped basin.

Few photos received by our customers from British Quadrathlon Team who enjoyed cycling on Apuan Alps in Tuscany using our full carbon road bike rentals provided with delivery and collection at their accommodations. 

The Apuan Alps are a mountain range in northern Tuscany, Italy. They are included between the valleys of the Serchio and Magra rivers, and, to the northwest, the Garfagnana and Lunigiana, with a total length of approximately 55 kilometres (34 mi).

The chain formed out of sea sediments in the middle Triassic period, somewhat earlier than the rest of the Apennines, and on a rather different geological structure. Over time, these sediments hardened into limestone, dolomite, sandstone, and shale. Harsh pressure approximately 25 million years ago transformed the limestone in many places into the Carrara marble (named for the nearby city of Carrara) for which the range is renowned. Erosion carved much of the remaining sedimentary rocks into a jagged karst topography.

The highest peak of the Apuan Alps is the Monte Pisanino, at 1,946 metres (6,385 ft).
All this beauty in North Tuscany!
