What It’s Like to Cycle Spain’s Cabo de Gata-Nijar Coast | Agua Amarga Loop

Escape the crowds and explore one of Spain’s most peaceful coastal rides! Starting in the tranquil village of Agua Amarga, I take on a scenic 30km loop through the rugged beauty of Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park. From ancient olive trees and arid desert climbs to the breezy Carboneras beachfront, this ride has it all. I even pass by a pirate-era fortress—but thanks to a surprise nationwide power cut, lunch plans didn’t go quite as expected! Watch the full adventure as I pedal through whitewashed villages, wild landscapes, and sun-soaked coastal roads on two wheels.
