Connecting two historic Mediterranean ports via an unforgettable unpaved interior, this 212km gravel tour showcases the raw, hidden geometry of southeastern Spain. The route balances crisp seaside tracks with the striking lunar badlands of Abanilla and the challenging pine-forested ridges of the Maigmó massif. It is an ideal long-weekend escape, trading crowded coastal roads for solitary farm trails, vast Monastrell vineyards, and high limestone passes.Planning a seamless bikepacking tour in Spain shouldn't mean drowning in logistics or keeping 20 tabs open.
