October 7, 2024,Circular Almería Cicloturismo DIA 4/4 San José - Cabo de Gata

Short but intense route due to the gradient and the condition of the track. The climb is a discarded track in some places and with some gravel. Feasible but demanding for non-MTB bikes.

Incredible landscapes, access to Playa de los Genoveses and Monsul. Highly recommended!!
