Unfortunately, I couldn't get there on my racing bike. The road was completely covered in sand.

The tower can be visited, I think it starts at ten in the morning, and you can take beautiful photos.

The Breña park is beautifully tranquil, some of it hard packed gravel but once you’re in the interior, the tracks turn to deep , red sand and when I say deep I mean you’re stuck in it, even on a standard mountain bike and for me on a gravel bike with 650b x 47 tyres, it meant carrying it back to the road. This is why you see so many locals on Fatboys, electric Fatboys and mountain bikes that can take monster tyres! Be warned..
