Cycling from Torre de la Horadada
Torre de la Horadada sits at the meeting point of two riding areas. North brings Mil Palmeras, Campoamor and the Orihuela Costa; south reaches San Pedro del Pinatar and the northern Mar Menor; inland roads through Pilar de la Horadada lead towards Pinar de Campoverde, Rebate, San Miguel de Salinas and the Pedrera reservoir.
Because OriMar Bikes is based locally, this is the shortest and simplest delivery area. It is also one of the easiest places to mix a serious road ride with a beach-based holiday.
Why Cycle from Torre de la Horadada in the Orihuela Costa?
Why Torre de la Horadada Is Different
The town avoids the long urban exit faced by riders farther north. From the coast, Pilar provides the inland gateway, while the N-332 cycle connection towards San Pedro gives access to flatter Mar Menor riding. A recovery ride and a hilly Campoverde day can therefore begin from the same accommodation.

Which Bike Suits Your Stay in Torre de la Horadada?
BMC Teammachine SLR: for the road cyclist
Choose the BMC if you are planning routes towards the Embalse de la Pedrera, Bigastro, Pinar de Campoverde, Rebate or longer loops around the Mar Menor. It is the natural choice for sustained road riding, structured training and the four routes featured below.
Fiido C21: for assisted local exploration
Choose the Fiido C21 for assisted trips around Torre de la Horadada, Pilar de la Horadada, Mil Palmeras and the coastal corridor towards San Pedro del Pinatar. The local terrain is manageable, but pedal assistance can help with distance, wind and the climb away from the coast.
One of each can work
If one person wants a road-training day and the other wants a relaxed ride, they can choose different bikes. On an easier day, both riders can stay on the flatter Mar Menor routes together.
Why choose Torre de la Horadada and OriMar Bikes?
Four Routes, Four Different Days
The Pedrera route is the inland endurance choice; Campoverde supplies repeated climbing; the Mar Menor loop gives flatter distance; and the San Javier–Los Alcázares option works as an easier café day. This variety is the real strength of staying locally.
Start Through Pilar, Not Along the Beach
For inland road rides, use Pilar de la Horadada as the practical exit rather than threading through beachfront streets. Coastal sections are better suited to easy riding, particularly outside busy summer periods.
