La Torre Golf Resort – GPX Route 1
Ride Overview
If you’re craving a bigger day out without brutal gradients, this coastal-meets-campo loop is the ticket. From La Torre Golf Resort the route threads quiet lanes to the shores of the Mar Menor, sweeps south past the salt-flat flamingo reserves of Playa Honda, then cuts inland through the mining town of La Unión for a couple of short, view-laden climbs before rolling back across open farmland. Fast tarmac, mellow ascents and café-rich villages make it ideal for endurance miles or a sociable group spin.

What to Expect
Leaving the resort’s palm-lined boulevard, you’ll warm up on flat campo roads heading east towards Torre-Pacheco. Soon the briny breeze of the Mar Menor greets you as the route hugs the lagoon, offering mirror-smooth vistas and sheltered straights perfect for pace-line work.
At Playa Honda (km 40) you turn inland, meeting the day’s main kicker: the short but rewarding ascent to Portmán Viewpoint (avg 5 % for 2 km). From the crest, the Mediterranean glitters to your right while the rugged Sierra Mineraframes the horizon. A second nip-up through La Unión adds another 70 m of gain before you tackle the gentle false-flat back towards Torre-Pacheco and, finally, the tree-lined run-in to La Torre Golf Resort—usually with a friendly tail-wind.
