QF Focus Magazine Quesada to Torremendo / Torreaguera and San Javier.
This was a really long ride and we had a ball with some fantastic scenery that you just do not get to appreciate in a car. We left Quesada through the arches and headed to Los Montesinos, after passing through a deserted high street we picked up the Vistabella road and after 2 roundabouts turned right and cycled up and over the AP7, then turned left onto the canal which we followed all the way to the pumping
station just passed Entre Naranjos, and turned right.
We cycled up the hill and onto a dirt track which takes you right into the car park of the Fortaleza restaurant where we all had our first coffee of the day. We then turned right and then first left heading for the reservoir de La Pedrera and followed this road to the first junction where we turned left, and after 100 metres turned right signposted to Torreaguera. This was a beautiful picturesque route and we followed the road for about 11kms until we came to a roundabout where we went straight across and headed for Sucina.
We picked up the blue cycle track and just followed it all the way past Canada de San Pedro where we stopped for a refreshment and tapas. After about an hour we continued along the blue track all the way to San Javier passing Sucina and El Mirador, straight into San Javier and Santiago de la Ribera where we cycled along the sea front and stopped for our lunch.
After lunch we cycled along the coast road through San Pedro and El Mojon heading for Pilar de la Horadada, where we took the new cycle track which runs along the side of the N332. We followed this track all the way to the hospital at Torrevieja where we cycled through the town and picked up the old railway line cycle track which took us all the way back to Los Montesinos, where we turned right onto the main road where we joined the cycle track. We then cycled on the track all the way back to Quesada.
We all arrived back about 6pm as it was just getting dark, we found a nice restaurant where we settled down for supper and a beer and discussed the days events.
The summary was we had a great cycle and was probably the best one that we have done all year, certainly the longest for most of us. Well done Team Cyclogical.
Total Distance: Approx 110 kms. Total Time: Allow 8 hours.
Summary: Long route but well worth it with breathtaking views from Torremendo to Torreaguera, it felt like real Spain. This route is a must.
