Bike rides along the coast

End of the road beach in Torrenostra

 

One of the staples of our trips to Alcossebre are morning bike rides. I am a huge fan of cycling and the setting in Alcossebre is beautiful with normal rides following the coast. The most common route we take is to the neighboring town of Torrenostra just south of us. It is about an 8km ride one way and makes for a perfect route along the coast with the final point being the literal end of the road in Torrenostra at a small park on the beach. We usually get off the bike and stretch a little bit overlooking the ocean. There is a small park nearby with drinking fountains meaning we do not have to take water bottles along.

There is usually a nice breeze coming off the ocean and it is in view for nearly the entire ride. If you get out early enough (before 9am) the road will be deserted with only a handful of walkers and cyclists getting in their morning exercise. Cars are also scarce which allows for a real casual and safe ride. I can't imagine a better environment for morning exercise though it's a shame the road doesn't extend a little further along the coast.
