Routes & Trails in San Javier


San Javier is an attractive municipality of just over 35,000 inhabitants. It was a geostrategic port for both the Romans and the Arabs, and, over time, acquired enormous industrial and tourist importance, especially for its abundant and interesting routes and trails throughout the Manga del Mar Menor and the beautiful surroundings.

Among the most attractive routes, the impressive Cycling Routes Network stands out. Here, athletes can admire the many heritage monuments and tourist and natural sites. The Mar Menor and Calblanque Routes are a spectacular network where you can take in the impressive beauty of the Protected Natural Spaces of the Salinas de San Pedro Regional Park. Among them are the Las Encañizadas Trail, the Cabezo Gordo Trail and the Punta Negra Viewpoint Trail.

Another path of enormous importance is the Transmurciana Route, which is more than 66 linear kilometres and moderate/high in difficulty. It is ideal for mountain biking and remains open to the public year round, thanks to the region's climate. On this route, athletes can admire the beauty of the place through the paved routes and dirt roads of the Calblanque Regional Park.

Other routes highly appreciated by visitors are the San Javier Route, just over 7 kilometres long and with an easy circular layout, and the San Javier—Cima La Virgen Route, which is linear, moderately difficult and just over 12 kilometres long.
