Itinerary description

Short but impressive bike trip from Carboneras to Mirador De La Granatilla, the gateway to Gabo de Gata-Níjar and back.

Along some very nice beaches along the Mediterranean Sea and some nice boulevards we bike to the outskirts of Carboneras.

From here we take the -AL-510- which isn’t that busy.. all the way up to the Mirador De La Granatilla.. a really -must see- if you are around here. It looks pretty impressive from down below, but the way up is really easy and sloping.. watch for the wild goats on the hillside!

After this we go back the same way but now we take a left to the beachroad, this will lead to the beachfront of the unfinished hotel. Here you can see nature is taking over again.

We follow this road what finally takes us to the tarmac road to Corboneras again. After this we bike along the boulevards and playas of Carboneras until we see the Andaluz Park to our right.. he we take a right turn.
