Are you coming to Málaga soon with your family? Then renting a bakfiets might just be the most fun thing you can do. No parking hassle, no taxis, no kids getting tired of walking — just cycling together with the Spanish sun on your face and the most beautiful city in Andalusia all around you.
At Lola Bikes we're passionate about our city too. We ride through it ourselves on the bakfiets every day, and we see every day how visiting families enjoy that same freedom. That's what we want to share with everyone.
Parking in Málaga is a sport in itself. With a bakfiets you park right where you want to go. Right in front of the museum, near the beach, next to the café terraces in the city centre. Lock the bike, and you're there.
Parking in the city centre easily costs €2 to €3 per hour. A day in the city? You can easily spend €15 to €25 on the car alone. The bakfiets you park for free, everywhere, always.
In a car you see Málaga through a window. On a bakfiets you're right in the middle of it. You smell the fresh churros at the market, hear the street musicians, see the local market around the corner. The kids sit in the box and see everything at eye level.
With the bakfiets your range is much greater than on foot. No waiting for the bus, no kids with tired feet. Kids in the box... and off we go!
Children can ride safely in the bakfiets, buckled in the box. For babies and toddlers we also have a special baby seat available. At Lola Bikes everyone gets a helmet for free.
The historic city centre of Málaga is largely car-free. With the bike you can get everywhere just the same. You ride past the cathedral, along Calle Larios, through neighbourhoods most tourists never get to see.
Kids love the bakfiets. They sit together in the box, look around, chat with each other and with you. No screens, no car seat, no "are we there yet?". Spaniards love children and the bakfiets — expect spontaneous reactions and smiling passers-by.
Málaga has invested heavily in cycling infrastructure in recent years. The best cycle path? The Paseo Marítimo — kilometres long, with the Mediterranean on one side and palm trees on the other.
Thanks to the electric motor you pedal effortlessly, even with children on board. That opens up a world of possibilities: Cala del Moral, Rincón de la Victoria, Torremolinos, El Palo and Pedregalejo — the most authentic fishing neighbourhoods with the best chiringuitos in the region.
Renting a bakfiets in Málaga is more than a means of transport — it's an experience in itself. The kids sit safely in front of you, the city opens up before you, and the memories are made along the way. See you soon in Málaga!
