Cycling
La Manga Club is the ideal location for a cycling holiday, whether your preference is for mountain bike trails, road biking, bicycle touring holidays or family bike trips. The largely flat and relatively quiet roads of rural Murcia make the area a real paradise to discover on two wheels. Wonderful routes hug the stunning coastline, whilst more challenging terrain can be found inland.
Road Bike Holiday
The area around La Manga Club Resort is undoubtedly a paradise for road cyclists. The largely flat roads of rural Murcia surrounding the Resort lend themselves to road cycling.

From teenagers to toddlers in baby seats or children in trailers and tagalongs, cycling is an activity that the family will enjoy together.
