Description

Torrevieja – GPX Route 5

Ride Overview

This punchy century ride threads the fertile plains of the Vega Baja before climbing onto the limestone ridges above Aspe—rewarding you with sweeping views across Alicante’s orchard country and the distant Mediterranean. Expect a mix of flat, fast lanes, one sustained middle‑section ascent to 350 m, and a rolling ridge‑top traverse before a flowing descent funnels you back to the coast.

  2. Vega Baja orchard lanes (km 15‑35) – quiet CV‑91 corridor through Rojales and Dolores, lined with orange and lemon groves.
