Almuñécar Cycling Club was founded in December 1978, has more than 200 members and has been carrying out various activities during the cycling season to promote cycling and grassroots sport, highlighting the town’s Cycling School, which has a large number of young riders.
Its calendar of activities includes cycle rides every Sunday throughout the Costa Tropical with two alternative routes for veteran riders and minors.
There are also competitions such as the Almuñécar Cota 1200, a climb to the mythical mountain pass of the Cabra Montés; the David González Memorial race for children, and a carnival by bike.
