Spring in Murcia.

In March 2016 the seventh CycleSummit travelled to the south-east of Spain. Tour operators and destinations met in the city of Murcia, rode along the Segura river and on the Vía Verde del Noroeste – and discovered a region that offers sunshine for cycling while much of Europe is still in winter.

Hosts were the city of Murcia and Costa Cálida – Region of Murcia. [Heiko: venue of the marketplace.]

On the Vía Verde

A day in the saddle: the group rode the Vía Verde del Noroeste, a former railway line with tunnels, through fields and vineyards of the Murcian hinterland – with lunch along the way.
