The course
Interactive swim route in the Course Lab above ↑ Drawn from the official GPX file, checked against this leg's distance.
A sheltered swim inside Málaga Port, with the docks lined by supporters. Harbour water means calm conditions and an easy warm-up, and the official page does not state how many loops.

A fast coastal 90km with the Mediterranean alongside for most of it, on smooth open roads. A rhythm course rather than a climbing one.
Interactive run route in the Course Lab above ↑ Drawn from the official GPX file, checked against this leg's distance.
Along the Malagueta promenade and into the middle of the city, finishing at el Palmeral. Flat, hot and lined with palm trees, which give less shade than you would hope.
