Are you looking for an activity that gets you moving, that's fun, that you can do with the whole family, that respects the environment and teaches you about its richness, that takes you to wonderful places? All of that? Yes, and also, why not, that allows you to keep fit. Well, it's as simple as getting on your bike and taking a look at the cycle touring routes that run along paths and trails, along the coast and in the mountains. And Oropesa del Mar has a wide range of possibilities both within the municipality and into the surrounding areas, through pine forests and mountains, looking out to sea.
A good route to start with is the Via Verde del Mar, from Oropesa del Mar to Benicàssim, a quiet, beautiful route full of charming stops. Already a classic of the area's sporting activities, this is one of those walks that will take you past the marina, under the viewpoint, around the coves of La Renegà and its towers until you pass Les Platgetes de Bellver, to finally enter Benicàssim. If you feel like it, you can continue on to El Grao and Castellón.
If you are in the centre of Oropesa del Mar, you can go in the opposite direction, towards the north, and go along the beaches of Morro de Gos and Les Amplaries to continue along the sea and reach the Torre de la Sal, in the coastal lands of the municipality of Cabanes. You can also continue and go through the wetlands of the Prat de Cabanes-Torreblanca Natural Park.
More difficult are the routes that go into the mountain range and through which you can reach places where you can enjoy unbeatable views, or go outside the municipality and follow the routes of the natural park of the Desert de Les Palmes. As always, if you have any doubts, in Oropesa del Mar there are companies specialised in renting all kinds of bicycles that can give you tips on how to enjoy yourself on two wheels.
