A port of 2 kilometers at an average 8% slope, with sections of up to 16%. It is located in the Escombreras Valley and has a typical layout of mountain passes with very steep horseshoe curves. The last section, starting from an old abandoned checkpoint, is gravel, but it can be done perfectly with the road bike. From above, you can see the entire Refinery, the Rabbit Battery, and the Mediterranean.

The construction work took place from 1933 to 1936. The battery was armed with cannons that had a range of about 35 km and fired penetrating projectiles of 900 kg. Purpose: to prevent ships from bombarding the naval base of Cartagena.
Great view over the port to the city of Cartagena. Easy to reach.
