Cycling day trip from Torrevieja to San Miguel

This pleasant ride takes you from the vibrant coastal city of Torrevieja to the charming inland town of San Miguel de Salinas. You’ll kick things off by the Mediterranean in Torrevieja, well-known for its beautiful promenades, salt lakes, and bustling atmosphere. The route mostly follows quiet roads and cycleways, making for a relaxed journey as you gradually leave the coast behind.

Expect gentle climbs (nothing too steep!), with the landscape transitioning from urban buzz to open countryside dotted with citrus groves and the occasional view of pink-hued salt flats. Around half the route has missing or mixed surfaces, so bring a bike that can handle the occasional rough patch—though a good chunk is paved and smooth.

You’ll finish in San Miguel de Salinas, a laid-back Spanish village perched just under 90 meters above sea level. It’s a lovely spot to grab a cool drink in a local café and soak up the peaceful vibes before heading back. Total distance is just under 23 km—perfect for a half-day adventure!
