The Golden Mile, at the right speed

The Golden Mile, at the right speed

Yachts, gardens and a sea breeze — the Golden Mile at the one speed that actually suits it.


The Golden Mile — the stretch of coast between Marbella and Puerto Banús — is famous for the wrong reasons. Yes, there are yachts and boutiques. But there is also a shaded seafront promenade, a Moorish-revival mosque and gardens most visitors never see, because they are stuck in traffic.

An electric bike solves that. You cover the distance a car cannot park near, feel the sea breeze the whole way, and stop wherever a view or a coffee asks you to. No lycra, no effort — the motor does the climbing.

It is the most relaxed way to read this coast, and the idea behind our Golden Mile E-Bike experience.
