Orihuela is the southernmost point where El Cid managed to establish his protectorate. Already exiled, Rodrigo won the battle of Tévar against the Catalan count Berenguer Ramón II. From there it maintained a protectorate over the Islamic kingdoms of Al Hayib, between Tortosa and Orihuela. Orihuela is also monumental. One of its great examples is the urban wall of the city and, also, its numerous civil buildings built by the nobles who lived there in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Easy to ride, very beautiful section of this route, with wonderful views! It's worth planning if you're cycling in the region. The cycle path is popular with both locals and tourists as it offers a great way to explore the area away from the main roads. The route is often flat, making it suitable for less experienced cyclists and families. A highlight is the lush vegetation along the banks, which provides a refreshing backdrop, especially in the warmer months. There are a few picnic areas and viewpoints near the river that invite you to take a break.

The reservoir was built in the 1980s in order to regulate the supply of water for irrigation to the low-lying areas. Today you can go almost all the way around a road that is in very good condition with little traffic and very picturesque.

Moderate route from Murcia to the reservoir, passing through Alquerías. On the way back through Hurchillo, Orihuela. Total 60 km round trip. Worth. Some ups of up to 5%, but then some nice downs. During holidays very little traffic, despite being paved road.

The reservoir is great - but be careful, the road from the dam down is closed - up and down!
