The Cuesta Colorada Trail, which runs parallel to the A7 (and a classic photo on the sign at exit 762, 1 km away, towards Cabo de Gata), is a good trail to take, with beautiful views looking to the right towards the Sierra Alhamilla Natural Park. Near the end, you have to tackle a rather steep 200m ramp, where you climb 22m. The terrain is very loose, and there's no way to climb it. It's a real slog, so you have to put your foot down and do a push-bike.
