Always at high tide

According to Parliamentary Question E-2325/2003 to the European Parliament, millions of tons of waste were dumped in Portman Bay between 1959 and 1989. It is estimated that approximately 13 million cubic meters of mud are flooding this bay, causing the 1957 shoreline to shift approximately 300 meters inland. This waste contains sulfides, arsenic, cadmium, copper, mercury, lead, and zinc, as the experts consulted acknowledge. One of Europe's greatest environmental disasters, so it's not a "highlight," but it's still a beautiful cycling route...

Nice quiet stretch on a good road

Beautiful route along the saltwater lagoon

Cartagena has about 220,000 inhabitants and is one of the most important commercial ports in Spain and the largest naval base in the Mediterranean.

Fabulous scenery all the way along this route

Small pretty bridge made of stone

At this point you can access on foot some sandbanks over the waters of the Mar Menor. The road is wet, but the scenery is impressive.
