WHAT TO SEE IN THE TIERRAS DE LA VERA CRUZ

Visiting these places is not just sightseeing, it is experiencing the memory of a territory that has managed to preserve its roots and open them to the world. In Caravaca de la Cruz, the Sanctuary of the Vera Cruz is not only a monument, it is the spiritual heart of thousands of pilgrims every year. In Moratalla, the Levantine cave paintings, protected as a World Heritage Site, are moving because of their direct connection with our ancestors. Cehegín and its Visigothic city of Begastri take us back to a time of lost kingdoms and trade routes. Mula and Bullas keep Roman villas that show the agricultural and cultural grandeur of two millennia ago, while in Calasparra, the sanctuaries carved into rock are an example of faith and popular devotion that has survived the centuries.

Each of these places leaves a mark on those who visit them. The silhouette of a castle at sunset, the calm of a hidden spring, the reverent silence in a basilica, or the vibrant energy of a traditional market. They are spaces that tell who we were, what battles we fought, what beliefs guided us, and how the people of these lands have been able to protect that legacy with pride so that today it can be shared and felt firsthand.

Come and walk its streets, feel the strength of its traditions, and be surprised by places that are not only visited, but are carried forever in the memory.

One of the most impressive corners of the Region of Murcia. Located in Bullas, this natural landscape sculpted by the Mula River offers a spectacular landscape, where water makes its way through rock formations, creating waterfalls, crystalline pools, and natural caves.

Carved into the rock and nestled next to the Segura River, the Sanctuary of the Virgen de la Esperanza is one of the most emblematic places in Calasparra. A place of pilgrimage and retreat, it combines the natural attraction of its surroundings with a deep religious tradition. Strolling around it is also a way to connect with the calm and landscape of the Murcian heart.

In addition, its history is closely linked to the legend of the Vera Cruz, one more reason to pay it a visit and get to know this jewel up close.

The arcades are much more than an architectural space; they are the center of social life. There, shops, cafes, and daily activity are combined, creating a unique environment where tradition and modernity coexist. Walking through them is looking at the daily pulse of the town.
