The Port of Malaga provides a beautiful seaside gateway to southern Spain. With Malaga Airport also servicing the city, arrival by air or sea puts you in perfect position to see this historic town using your own set of wheels. Motorcycle and scooter hire gives you the freedom to explore Malaga on your own schedule.
Wandering the narrow cobblestone streets, you'll find charming plazas dotted with orange trees and fountains in this city that boasts nearly 3,000 years of history. Climb up to explore the 11th century Arabic fortress, Alcazaba, and roam the ruins of the old Roman theater just steps from the beachfront. Stop for a refreshing glass of local wine in the laidback bars of the El Pimpi neighborhood.
With your own scooter or motorcycle, you can zip along the scenic coastal roads out to the quiet whitewashed villages of Mijas and Ojen in the hills nearby. Or head just 15 minutes inland to discover the impressive Renaissance cathedral in Antequera. Don't miss experiencing the stunning beauty and Islamic influences of the Alhambra Palace just an hour and a half's ride away in Granada.
Gathering speed on mountain switchbacks, climb through pine forests up to Ronda, a cliffside town split by a deep gorge with amazing panoramic views and Spain's oldest bullring. For more great vistas, make your way out to visit nearby Gibraltar overlooking the straits, or head along the Mediterranean coastline past the glamorous cities of Marbella and Estepona. With so much history, culture, and natural beauty so easily accessible, Malaga is the perfect base to explore southern Spain's many treasures independently via an exciting motorcycle or scooter rental.
