Arrive & Depart At Any Time
A Typical Itinerary
Day 1
Arrive into Murcia and you will be picked up and taken to the mountains of the Sierra Espuna. Spend the day relaxing at the hotel or go for a walk into the untouched beauty of this location.
Day 2
95km total distance
Today is a great day to acclimatise to riding in Murcia with a fairly lengthy route, but without huge amounts of climbing. The ride starts in the south of the Sierra Espuna with a thrilling descent down to Totana before a flat section becomes a false flat as you make your way to Lorca. From Lorca, you will climb steadily back up to Jardine de la Santa.
Day 3
140km total distance
Today is a huge day in the saddle but it can be shortened if you like. The route circumnavigates to the mountains of the Sierra Espuna heading northwest to the top of your climb at Pico de la Selva, before an amazing uninterrupted 15km descent. You will have a couple of punchy little hills before more descending into Banos and then Gebas. From here it's a mammoth climb into the Sierra Espuna, topping out at the Mirador del Collado Bermejo.
Day 4
145km total distance
Your route today is similar to the day before but it heads counter clockwise around the mountains. You will have some short climbs and a few descents until around kilometre 70 and from here, you will climb steadily for 30km to Zarzadilla de Totana, effectively riding up the descent from the start of yesterday's ride. From here you will descend down towards Totana in the south of the Sierra Espuna.
Day 5
Today you will be taken back to Murcia airport but remember, our trips are entirely tailor made and bespoke so this itinerary can be altered in any way you want.

What our Cyclists Say
Awesome customer Service like it used to be. When planning my husband's 50th birthday and knowing very little about cycling I decided to try Love Velo and I can't recommend them, and the service I've received from James Danvers highly enough.

I booked through Love Velo because the reviews were so good. I wasn't disappointed. Right from my first contact with LV they were easy to talk to and although I dithered (my first cycling trip abroad) they didn't press me. When I eventually confirmed my booking they took care of everything.

Everything about Love Velo has been faultless. From the initial notification of them teaming up with Le Col and to the pricing being unbelievable and then the customer service, top class. James, if all the staff are as attentive to every detail as you are then everyone will be as lucky as I have been. 100% at some point, hopefully in the near future I will be booking again with you guys. Thank you again
