Cycling routes
Picture the morning: a relaxed breakfast, a walk down to Calle Mayor and ten minutes later you’re pedalling among orange trees, with no cars and no scary hills. That’s what Mediterranean Bike Tours makes possible, a bike company based right in Torres Torres that knows every path in the area.

How to book
On their website, at least a day in advance, choosing your pick-up and drop-off time. If you get the urge on the day, call or message +34 629 522 300. You pay 25% on confirmation and the rest in the shop. Bikes are picked up and returned at Calle Mayor, 68: walking distance from our houses.
A treasure hunt on wheels
Their star plan for families turns the Vía Verde into a game: missions, clues hidden along the way and a gift for the kids at the end. The grown-ups pedal; the little ones forget they’re doing exercise. There are three versions:
- One stage: about 20 kilometres in around two hours, low difficulty. From €19 per person, with e-bike, map, helmet and insurance.
- Two stages: from Torres Torres to Segorbe and back (22 and 23 km), with a hotel night and breakfast in Segorbe. From €97.
- Three stages: Torres Torres, Segorbe, Jérica and back, about 77 kilometres with two hotel nights. From €194.
On the multi-day trips they move your luggage from one hotel to the next, and you have mechanical and phone support.
Where to go from the village
- The Vía Verde de Ojos Negros, towards Algimia, Segorbe or Navajas, almost flat and car-free.
- El Salto de la Novia, in Navajas, in one or two stages, with a swim at the foot of the waterfall in summer.
- Jérica and the Regajo reservoir, a village crowned by a Mudéjar tower and a reservoir perfect for a lunch stop.
- The Camino del Cid and the Holy Grail Route, which pass right through Torres Torres.
On many routes you can hire a guide, for €95 for the whole group.
For those who want more
If a morning isn’t enough, they organise complete bike trips, with accommodation, luggage transfer, GPS route and support:
- The whole Vía Verde, from Teruel or Albarracín to Valencia, in 3 to 6 stages.
- Mediterranean Valencia, from the mountains to the sea through the Calderona and the Sierra de Espadán, in 2 to 5 stages.
- Tailor-made route, depending on the group’s days and level.
If you’re staying with us, you can start or finish your trip in Torres Torres.
And when you get off the bike
Restaurante Torres Torres, on the square, is the end of stage you deserve: mid-morning snacks and wood-fired paella at weekends.
