By Gary and Lynn “ Cyclogical” Quesada. Cycle Route 10.
Quesada to “Pilar De La Horadada”.
Starting off at Quesada go around the large roundabout and come off at the cycle track which runs along the side of the dual carriageway towards Torrevieja but, instead of using the track, take the camino road that runs parallel to the right of it along past Alonso’s garage.
Stay on this camino / canal road, passing over a hump back bridge just before La Herrada, carrying straight on at both roundabouts following the camino road until you come to a main road junction(which is the road to Greenlands and Zoco market). Go straight on at this junction staying on the camino road to the next junction where you turn right and cycle uphill for 1.2kms passing over the AP7. About 200 metres on your left you will see another canal. Follow this canal all the way passing through Entre Naranjos turning left at the pumping station and again following it to San Miguel where you turn right at a crossroads where you see O’Neils Irish bar on your left up the small hill. Then take a sharp left following the road to the junction cross a main road and follow the canal downhill all the way to Pilar De La Horadada.
You will pass some beautiful scenery and villages
Villamartin,
including Las
Almitas, Campoamor and fi nally Pilar de la Horadada. Arriving at Pilar you can cycle down into the town where there are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. You can then retrace your tracks or, if you fancy a change, you can cycle back on the new cycle track adjacent to the N332 as it is open
all the way to the hospital in Torrevieja where you then need to cycle through the town for a couple of kilometres. You can then pick up the old railway line back to Los Montosinos, turning right beside the garden centre and then pick up the cycle track back to Quesada.
A really nice cycle with plenty places to stop and eat or just to enjoy the views. Make sure you take plenty of water as it’s a long way between places to stop and no matter what time of year you still need plenty water.
Total cycling time : 6 Hours. Total distance : 66 Kms.
Summary: Lovely cycle with plenty places to stop and eat, relatively fl at enjoyable route suitable for most levels.
