Race along scenic mountain roads in an open buggy with the Mediterranean as a constant backdrop—Ruta Bernia condenses a high-altitude coastal landscape into a brisk, accessible hour of asphalt, curves and wide vistas, ideal for first-time buggy drivers and smaller groups looking for a short, vivid drive through the Sierra de Bernia.

Sierra de Bernia meets the Mediterranean
The route climbs into the Sierra de Bernia to deliver sweeping panoramas of limestone ridges and the blue horizon of the Mediterranean—a constant visual companion on the ascent, at the summit viewpoint, and during the return.
Curves, ascent and a one-hour burst of driving
This is a compact, driving-focused outing: an hour of road time across mountain asphalt where the emphasis is on the handling of the buggy, the rhythm of the corners, and the gratification of the downhill run back toward the marina.
Los Paelleros viewpoint and a included refreshment
A scheduled pause at the Los Paelleros mirador breaks the route—an opportunity for photos and a refresco included as part of the experience while you take in the summit views.
