La Manga Club Golf Resort – GPX Route 4
Ride Overview
Route 4 is the “rolling-ridge special” of the La Manga collection. It threads west beneath the sheer limestone walls of the Sierra de la Fausilla, rises over the orchard-speckled Collado de Roche, then returns along a serpentine ridge with big-sky views across the Mar Menor lagoon. Two distinct climbs, wave-after-wave of smaller rollers and silky-smooth tarmac make this 43 km loop a sweet spot between an easy spin and a full-gas workout.

What to Expect
From La Manga Club you’ll glide over gentle coastal rollers before the road tilts up the pine-lined bends of the Sierra de la Fausilla, revealing sweeping views of Cartagena’s harbour. A swift descent drops you into citrus country, then a steady four-kilometre push over the Collado de Roche crowns you with panoramas of the Mar Menor. Fast false-flats through Los Nietos Viejos lead into a final ridge-line of short, punchy ramps, and a tail-wind-kissed run-in returns you to the resort—legs lively, grin guaranteed.
Key Highlights
Mirador del Roche: 270° sweep over orchards, sierras & shimmering sea
Balcony bends above Cartagena’s historic harbour – selfie mandatory
Wild rosemary & lavender scenting the roadside each spring
Smooth, low-traffic lanes perfect for 28 mm tyres and aero daydreaming
Rider Tips
Compact gearing (50/34 t) + 28 T keeps 7 % ramps friendly.
One large bottle will do; easy top-ups in Los Belones (km 16) & Los Nietos (km 26).
A gilet is handy – descents can feel crisp with the sea breeze.
Drop the GPX onto Garmin, Wahoo or Komoot for turn-by-turn cues when phone signal dips in the folds of the sierras.
