Murcia Cycle Routes

The Bateria de Castillitos was built between 1933 and 1936 to defend the Naval Port of Cartagena.  The 2 main artillery pieces were built by Vickers Armstrong and were capable of firing a one tonne projectile a distance of 35 kms. 

The battery is accessible from the main Cartagena - Mazarron road and requires a good level of fitness to tackle the climb.

A 120 Km loop from Los Alcázares.

This route can be included in our Murcia Bike Camps and Guided Road Bike Rides.
