Bikepacking Spain: The 630km Southern Desert & Alpine Gravel Route

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.
