You'll pedal through olive groves and pine forests, with panoramic views opening up to unique rock formations, sculpted by the erosion of the Alhama River and historical seismic activity. It's a visually rich experience, with the possibility of spotting the distant Sierra Nevada mountains on clear days.
Prepare for a demanding 43.8-kilometer ride with 676 meters of elevation gain, classified as difficult, which will take approximately 2 hours and 57 minutes.
