GR 250 – Apostle’s Way

The GR 250 is a Long-Distance trail that's part of the vast "Caminos de la Cruz" network, designed to connect the port city of Cartagena with the sacred Caravaca de la Cruz. Stretching over 143.49 kilometers, this path offers a moderate hiking experience, with stages that vary in length and elevation gain, and can be completed in about 6-7 days. Its route runs through the municipalities of Mula, Bullas, Cehegín, and Caravaca de la Cruz, making it a central route for exploring this region.
The diverse landscape is one of its main highlights. The trail starts on the coast and progressively heads into the interior of the Region of Murcia, crossing the Campo de Cartagena, the fertile plains of the Segura and Mula rivers, and the Northwest regions.
A distinctive feature of this GR is its use of sections of the Northwest Greenway, which makes progress easier in certain parts and lets you enjoy its infrastructure and scenery.
Along the way, hikers will find numerous points of cultural and natural interest. In Mula, you can visit its old town and rural surroundings. Passing through Bullas, you'll dive into its winemaking tradition and characteristic landscape. Cehegín surprises with the Begastri Archaeological Park, a site of great historical value that tells the story of human occupation since ancient times.
Finally, the route ends in Caravaca de la Cruz, the city of the Vera Cruz, with its impressive sanctuary and rich religious and cultural heritage. The Apostle's Way isn't just a trail, but a journey through the history and soul of the Region of Murcia.
