About this tour
Three-hour open-air trike ride through the hills between Cartagena and Mar Menor, showcasing Spain's coastal character. You'll weave past abandoned mining terrain, whitewashed villages, manicured golf estates, and sprawling citrus and vegetable farms that define the region's layered landscape. Ride two-up per machine with a maximum of three trikes per group. Ideal for those wanting to cover ground without heavy pedalling.
Highlights
- Trike through mountain passes connecting coast and inland plains
- Contrast of heritage villages against luxury golf resort developments
- Panoramic views of Mar Menor saltwater lagoon
- Industrial heritage sites where mining shaped the terrain
- Seasonal crop diversity across open farmland
What to expect
Expect a steady pace on paved roads with curves that let you feel the machine respond without demanding skill. The route alternates between clifftop stretches with sea views and inland valleys dotted with working farms. You'll pass through small settlements where daily rhythms haven't changed much, then round a bend to encounter contemporary golf clubs and resort sprawl—that tonal whiplash is part of the appeal. Wind and sun exposure are real; bring a hat and sunscreen.
Good to know
Minimum two passengers per trike; groups run with up to three machines. No specialist riding experience needed. Public transport is nearby if you prefer alternatives. Suitable for most fitness levels since you're seated throughout.
