General presentation
Caravaca et nord-ouest murcien
Holy town, castles, mountain villages, springs, caves and fresh interior landscapes of the Murcia region.
To understand what Caravaca is and what northwestern Murcia is, you must look at Caravaca de la Cruz, Cehegín and Moratalla. These places give you a view of a territory marked by urban life, mountain reliefs, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: scattered sites and heat possible in summer. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Caravaca de la Cruz
Caravaca de la Cruz climbs to its sanctuary by mixing old streets, stairs, squares and facades bathed in Murca's light. The city speaks to travellers attracted to pilgrimage places as well as to those who love the historical centres on the slope, where each detour brings closer to the castle-sanctuary.
Place
Cehegín
Cehegín leaves an impression of continuity between ancient village and rural areas nearby. The central streets and sober facades make up a simple but precise experience, especially if it is granted stops to observe materials and uses rather than running from one point to another.
Place
Moratalla
Moratalla combines soft reliefs and historical structures that help understand the local Antechristallin without overloading explanations. A clear vision is removed by following its visual axes and taking the time of the light cuts that reveal textures and volumes.
Place
Bullas
Bullas The wine museum, the cellars and the small roads to the hills give a concrete reason to stop there between the village and the village. The wine museum, the wine cellars and the small roads to the hills, is a part of the Murcian countryside. Caravaca and the Noroeste campaign.
