As the ride progresses inland, the terrain becomes more rolling, with several short but punchy climbs totalling over 600 metres of elevation gain. These ascents reward you with wide-open views and a real taste of Murcia’s rural charm.
Key Highlights
La Puebla and El Algar: traditional Murcian villages with potential café stops.
Rolling terrain through Cartagena’s campo: ideal for tempo efforts.
A coastal sweep back along Los Nietos and Los Urrutias, offering glimpses of the sea and salty breeze before your final push inland.

Road surfaces are excellent throughout, making it perfect for carbon road bikes with 28mm tyres.
Add a café stop around El Algar (km 35) or Los Nietos (km 60) to refuel with a tostada and cortado.
