Pedal 25 km from Torregrande along the mouth of the Tirso River, where coastal panoramas, a 16th-century Spanish tower and salt-lagoon wildlife combine for an easy, scenic half-day ride.
You set off from the wide sands of Torregrande, helmet clipped, tires whispering on boardwalk and packed sand as the Tirso River dares you toward the sea. Pine copses shade short stretches; the coast opens into three kilometers of beach where palm trees mark a promenade and the old Spanish tower watches the horizon.

You set off from the wide sands of Torregrande, helmet clipped, tires whispering on boardwalk and packed sand as the Tirso River dares you toward the sea. Pine copses shade short stretches; the coast opens into three kilometers of beach where palm trees mark a promenade and the old Spanish tower watches the horizon.
This ride threads nature and history. The Torre Grande tower—built in the 16th century to guard the coast—alerts you to centuries of maritime traffic while the Tirso’s mouth and nearby lagoons tell a quieter geological story: river deposits building broad coastal plains and salt marshes that attract waders and flamingos. Local guides bring practical knowledge of flora and birds and a respect-for-wildlife ethic that keeps this stretch calm and accessible.
Expect roughly 25 km of mostly flat coastal riding, a mix of paved promenade, compact sand tracks and short gravel sections; technical demand is low but watch for crosswinds and occasional soft sand. The tour is paced for enjoyment, with viewpoints and photo stops and a paced snack break near the river mouth.
Practical notes: bring layered clothing and a light windproof for sea breezes, sun protection, and at least 1–1.5 L of water. Helmets and bicycles are provided, and certified mountain-bike instructors lead the route. Confirm meeting details and the exact itinerary with the operator, and plan for a four-hour outing that balances steady pedaling with plenty of time to look up and listen to the coastline.
