The wheels catch momentum for the final day in the saddle, tracking tightly along the Mediterranean coast. Moving out of San Pedro Alcántara, the tarmac glides past the beachfront of Marbella. The route traces a flat line next to the waves, with the ridges of the Sierra Blanca rising sharply inland.
Past Fuengirola, the road hugs the undulating coastal bluffs through Benalmádena, offering great vantage points out over the blue waters.
Skirting the river delta, the surroundings turn increasingly urban. The track leads directly onto the spacious Muelle Uno waterfront promenade in Málaga. Finished in the shadow of the historic Moorish Alcazaba fortress, a multi-day journey across two nations comes to a celebrated close.
