Río Chíllar bike route

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycling route along the Río Chíllar between Playa Río Chíllar and Playa El Cucho runs along the coast near Nerja. This route connects two beaches and partially follows the Chíllar River. This route is particularly beautiful because of the combination of sea views, river landscapes and mountains in the background. It is suitable for leisure cyclists, but can be made more challenging by taking detours into the hinterland.
