If you're looking for a touring bike route that combines unique coastal landscapes with relaxed cycling, the La Manga del Mar Menor circular route from Playa de las Amoladeras is an excellent choice. This moderate 22.8-mile (36.7 km) route takes you along the distinctive strip of land separating the Mar Menor from the Mediterranean, offering panoramic views on both sides. With only 469 feet (143 meters) of elevation gain and an estimated duration of 2 hours and 11 minutes, it's perfect for enjoying without great effort. The terrain is mostly flat and paved, ideal for a leisurely ride.
To begin your adventure, head to Playa de las Amoladeras, a beautiful golden sand beach that serves as an ideal starting point. The route is predominantly on paved surfaces, making it accessible for most touring cyclists. Given the high number of sunny days in the region, you can plan your visit almost any time of year, although it's always a good idea to check the weather forecast to ensure the best conditions.
What makes this route so special is the opportunity to experience the natural phenomenon of La Manga, with its two distinct coastlines. In addition to the sea views, you'll pass through protected natural areas such as the Salinas de Marchamalo, adding a touch of biodiversity to your journey. It's one of the most popular touring cycling routes in the area, and for good reason: it combines natural beauty with easy and rewarding cycling.
