Hilly loop between Águilas and Pulpí

The ride

Roll out of Águilas and let the road carry you through the Parque Regional Calnegre y Cabo Cope, a nature reserve, before the Paisaje Protegido Cuatro Calas, another nature reserve, opens up along the way. The route covers 82.5 km, all of it paved, with 1263 m of climbing to keep the legs honest. Spin through both reserves in order, then follow the road back to where you started in Águilas.
