La Torre Golf Resort – GPX Route 4

Route 4 is our “coffee-ride classic”—a relaxed spin that slips out of La Torre Golf Resort, loops past the sun-baked hamlet of Valle del Sol, then cruises home through quiet campo lanes flanked by citrus groves. With just 145 m of gentle climbing spread over 26 km, it’s perfect for first-day leg looseners, family outings or a quick hit of Murcia sunshine before brunch by the pool.

What to Expect

Roll away from the resort’s palm-lined boulevard onto silky-smooth backroads where orange blossom perfumes the air. A barely noticeable descent lets you find your rhythm before the road rises gradually toward Valle del Sol (max gradient ~4 %). Crest the rolling ridge at km 18 for widescreen views of the Sierra de Altaona peaks, then enjoy an easy-going return on lightweight tailwinds that often whisper across the plains. Expect:

Flat to gently rolling terrain—ideal for steady zone-2 spins or family rides.
Minimal traffic on freshly resurfaced farm roads.
Wide-open vistas of almond orchards and distant sierras.
One café option at Balsicas de Arriba (km 14) for a quick cortado or ice-cold refresco.

Key Highlights

Golden sunrise views if you roll out before 09:00.
Photogenic, white-washed houses of Valle del Sol.
Seasonal almond blossom tunnels (Feb–Mar) and citrus harvest scenes (Nov–Jan).

Rider Tips

Ideal bike: any road or hybrid; 28 mm tyres feel plush on the rural tarmac.
Two small bottles are ample; top-up tap beside the church in Valle del Sol (km 18).
Light gilet recommended on breezy spring mornings.
