The Málaga Coastal Path offers a 180-kilometer route across the coast, connecting 14 towns from Nerja to Manilva with accessible trails and spectacular views.

Considered one of Spain's most beautiful seaside promenades, the Málaga Coastal Path stretches for 180 kilometers along the Mediterranean coast, linking seaside trails and passing through 14 municipalities. This unique itinerary, running from the iconic Balcón de Europa in Nerja to the Duquesa Castle in Manilva, offers spectacular panoramas where cliffs and rivers merge with the coastline.
The route is accessible to both walkers and cyclists thanks to its comfortable paths and wooden boardwalks, inviting a deep connection with nature and the sea. The Axarquía Coast offers nearly 15 kilometers between the Vélez and Torrox rivers, highlighting watchtowers like the one in Algarrobo and archaeological sites such as the Torrox Lighthouse.
In the segment of Málaga capital and Rincón de la Victoria, you'll find Europe's longest wooden pedestrian walkway over the Guadalhorce River. This section also includes Peñón del Cuervo beach, a protected biological enclave.
Torremolinos and Benalmádena attract visitors with beaches like La Carihuela and the Bil Bil Castle, offering leisure and dining alongside the serenity of the sea. The stretch between Mijas and Marbella features viewpoints and beachside restaurants, including the natural area of the Dunas de Artola in Cabopino.
The final part, covering Estepona, Manilva, and Casares, stands out for its continuity and points of interest such as boardwalks and bridges linking the marina and Duquesa Castle.
Beyond the scenery, the Coastal Path connects a wide range of experiences: from beach bars and sunset spots to theme parks and golf courses. Local gastronomy, featuring sardine skewers and fried fish, alongside events like the Starlite Festival in Marbella and Marenostrum Fuengirola, completes the summer offerings.
