Cartagena, Alto de el Cedacero and Alto de la Cuesta
Having enjoyed you first evening in Los Alcazares, its time to get those legs spinning to the beautiful port of Cartagena and its roman heritage. From here we take a route used in the Vuelta a Espana 2018 Day 6 towards Mazarron known as Alto de El Cedacero.
This route also gives the opportunity to enjoy a local tapas lunch and visit the Torre de Santa Elena in the La Azohia bay. Then its time to continue back to Los Alcazares via another local climb “Alto de la Cuesta” with a summit at 352m.

Embalse de la Padera and Rebate
After tackling the Collado Bermejo yesterday, we make a welcome change to a more rolling countryside route today. Riding out of Los Alcazares and head out into the agricultural area through the orange groves to the La Padera and Rebate route.
Before you head back to the hotel its always great to finish a ride at a local chiringuito for a well earned cerveza or two!
Los Ginovinos, Cresta del Gallo and El Garruchal
On the last day our final ride will take us over the hills to Murcia, where we will head for the Vuelta de Murcia famed Cresta del Gallo climb with fantastic view across the city of Murcia and beyond.
