    Tips

    Mountain biking

    From San José very loose terrain from the beginning of the climb. In the curves on windy days you have to be very careful so that a gust does not throw us. The path ends by accessing a road that allows you to go up to Punta de la Vela Blanca and go down to the Cabo de Gata lighthouse. Good views of Mónsul beach from here.

    Mythical climb for BTT. From the San José side it is longer and more stretched out. Passing previously through the famous beaches of Monsul and Genoveses

    Beautiful views from Cerro de Vela Blanca to the left, of San José in the foreground with the beaches of Mònsul and Los Genoveses, and to the right Caja Rajá, Cabo de Gata Lighthouse, Las Salinas and San Miguel del Cabo de Gata at the end from the straight of the road.
