There are very beautiful images that you will find while pedaling along the channel of the Tajo-Segura transfer. It is a moment of peace and tranquility very grateful for lovers of two wheels.

If you've had enough of the climbs, you can really put your foot on the gas on the canal, which is almost flat. It's a bit annoying because there are lots of speed bumps (to reduce speed) and floor gratings.

Morrón de Sierra Espuña Loop from Totana

50.8km

04:04

1,280m

The El Morrón de Sierra Espuña Loop from Totana plunges you into the "green heart of Murcia," a landscape of dense pine forests and breathtaking karst formations. Once you leave Totana behind, the roads become quiet, allowing you to fully enjoy the panoramic views from spots like Collado Mangueta, with Morrón de Espuña dominating the horizon. This route combines natural beauty with a considerable cycling challenge.

Prepare for a demanding day; this Morrón de Sierra Espuña Loop is a 50.8-kilometer road cycling route with an elevation gain of 1284 meters, which will take you approximately 4 hours and 4 minutes. The difficulty is high, with ascents like "La Espuña desde Totana" including very steep sections, so excellent physical condition is required. The region's mild climate, with over 300 days of sunshine per year, makes it an ideal cycling destination year-round.

Sierra Espuña is a paradise for road cyclists, not only for its challenging terrain and natural beauty but also for the absence of heavy traffic compared to other areas. The local cycling community is very active and welcoming, which adds extra value to the experience. It is one of the popular routes that offers a total immersion in nature and a top-level workout.
