Campoverde – GPX Route 4

GPX Route 4 is a flat, feel-good circuit that links the pine-fringed lanes of Campoverde with the palm-lined promenades of the Mar Menor. You’ll drop gently to the coast, roll south past Torre-Pacheco and Los Alcázares, spin north along the lagoon’s mirror-calm shoreline, then cut back inland through citrus country for an easy climb home. Minimal climbing, smooth tarmac and endless café options make this loop perfect for recovery rides, base-miles or a sociable coffee spin.

What to Expect

The opening descent winds through whispering pines before the landscape widens into open campo; the distant shimmer of the Mar Menor soon appears on the horizon. As you reach Los Alcázares, the road flattens completely and a salty breeze nudges you along the water’s edge, palms swaying overhead while flamingos stalk the shallows of the salt flats. South-bound traffic is light, and the silky promenade tarmac invites an effortless, aero-bar cruise. Swinging inland, the lagoon’s blues give way to the green patchwork of lemon and orange groves. The aroma of citrus hangs in the air as you glide through quiet farm lanes, and a gentle false-flat lifts you back into the pines of Campoverde—legs fresh, appetite primed for a plaza cortado.
