Itinerary description

From Ruidera into the natural park passing several laguna’s and small waterfalls.

Nice bike trip which we started at a (almost new march ‘22) camperspot at Ruidera. From here we take a very nice road along the lakes or lagunas in the Ruidera natural park.

From Restaurant Moreno we climb towards a very nice sculpture of Don quijote y Sancho. Downwards again passing Ermita de San Pedro de Verona, a small church we go off-road to the Cruz De Las Monjas. Easy uphill climb but very steep downwards.. some parts we do by foot.

Back to Ruidera, we cross the lagunes at Playa Santo Morcillo. From here we head back again at the opposite site of Laguna de la Colgada and Laguna del Rey.

    We rode this on emtb's and the descent (with heavy bikes) from the Cross was horrendous. I suggest changing the category of the route.

    Otherwise we had a pleasant ride.
