Hydrate and carry extra water
There are limited shops on the peninsula; bring a 1–2 L bottle and refill where possible before entering the park.
Protect yourself from sun and wind
Open coastal sections get harsh sun and gusts—use SPF, sunglasses, and a windbreaker for cooler mornings.
Mind the road surface
Route is primarily asphalt/macadam but can be narrow; use a bike with steady tires and watch for loose gravel at edges.
Respect protected zones
Stay on marked roads, avoid trampling fragile plants (including orchids), and don't remove fossils or shells.
Filled water bottle or hydration pack
Keeping 1–2 L on hand prevents dehydration on exposed coastal stretches.
Sun protection (sunglasses, SPF 30+)
Strong Mediterranean sun makes long exposure risky—protect skin and eyes.
summer
Comfortable cycling shorts and gloves
Padded shorts and gloves reduce saddle fatigue on the 40 km loop.
Light windbreaker or packable jacket
