From the sun-bleached ravines of Europe’s only true desert in Tabernas to the massive alpine karst plateaus of the Sierra de Segura, this 636km gravel loop showcases the raw, untamed interior of Southern Spain. The route bridges dramatic extremes, taking riders from sea level up into dense pine forests and high mountain outposts, before dropping through the fertile Segura basin to finish at the ancient Punic Wall of Cartagena. It is a true test of terrain: loose ramblas, sweeping limestone crests, and isolated stone villages.Planning a route through Spain's most rugged and remote badlands shouldn't mean spending weeks analyzing terrain or keeping 20 tabs open. Rogonneur eliminates the friction. A free account gives you instant access to completely curated GPS data, handpicked bike-friendly hotels, and regional food spots along the entire journey.
