Mar Menor Golf Resort – GPX Route 7
Ride Overview
Craving a quick spin that still feels like an adventure? This loop heads north from Mar Menor Golf Resort, skimming the sparkling lagoon before tracing board-flat lanes through the Salinas de San Pedro Natural Park. Expect flamingo-filled salt flats, postcard-pretty windmills and plenty of wide-open tarmac where you can settle into an effortless rhythm. With barely 225 m of climbing in 53 km, it’s the perfect recovery-day cruise or an ideal first taste of Murcian cycling magic.

What to Expect
Lagoon warm-up – Glide past Los Alcázares on billiard-smooth tarmac as the Mar Menor shimmers to your right.
Salinas & flamingos – At km 25 the route enters the salt-flat reserve; keep an eye out for flamingos wading in rose-pink pools.
Top-lagoon breeze – A light tail-wind often pushes you along the causeway through Lo Pagán and San Pedro del Pinatar.
Quiet campo lanes – Turn inland for citrus-scented straights back towards San Javier before the final, flat drag to MMGR.
Key Highlights
Traditional windmills silhouetted against salt-white mounds.
Flamingo photo-ops (spring & autumn are peak viewing seasons).
Mercado pit-stops on Monday mornings in San Javier for a quick café con leche.
Ultra-low traffic — ideal for new riders, families and aero-tuck triathletes alike.
Rider Tips
Two bottles & sun-cream – there’s little shade across the salt flats.
Mind the breeze – afternoon easterlies can bite on the return leg; hold a little back.
Gearing – standard 50/34 T with an 11-34 T cassette is plenty; you’ll spin the whole way.
Navigation – download the GPX to your Garmin/Wahoo; mobile data briefly drops near the reserve.
