Caravaca: an unforgettable cycling destination in the heart of Murcia

Some places surprise you without warning.
Caravaca de la Cruz is one of them — a destination full of nature, culture and cycling experiences that you only understand once you’re there.

What started as a simple search for scenic cycling routes turned into a true discovery. Caravaca isn’t just its historic city; it’s also the small villages that surround it, each adding something unique to the journey.

A real cycling experience in Caravaca

Instead of describing it ourselves, here’s the message we received from Guillermo, one of our riders who enjoyed a weekend experience with us:

**“Jose, just wanted to say thank you for everything you organized.We wanted to do something different, but we never imagined it would be this good.

Caravaca is stunning. People talk about it, but discovering it the way you planned it for us… it hits differently.

The route through Barranda, Archivel and Singla was incredible: Roman archaeological sites, the Ermita de la Encarnación, the Cueva del Rey Moro — my personal favourite — and the restaurant you chose… perfect. On Saturday we took a relaxed ride along the Greenway to Bullas and enjoyed a wine tasting you recommended.
Oh, and the bikes you provided… let’s just say I’m now looking to buy one.

THANK YOU for making us enjoy Caravaca in such a unique way.

Sorry for the long message — I had to tell you everything 😄”*
