February 16 Free guided hike in the Sierra del Cuchillo in Yecla

The route follows easy paths in the La Yesera area of the Yecla countryside

As part of the sports and tourism program in Yecla during the first quarter of 2025 this free guided country tour is being held on Sunday February 16, beginning at 9.00 outside Bodegas La Purísima (click for map).

From here, participants will drive in convoy to the starting point of the walk.

Organized in collaboration with the Centro Excursionista de Yecla, the walk follows a route along paths in the impressive countryside of La Yesera and the Sierra del Cuchillo, alongside the boundary between the regions of Murcia and Castilla-La Manca. The walk, a relatively leisurely one, is expected to last around 3 and a half hours, and covers a distance of 5.5 km with climbs and descents of just 200 metres.

Walkers should bring sturdy footwear, plenty to drink and a snack.

Although the hike is completely free of charge prior registration is necessary online here – and please bear in mind that this kind of event in Yecla is normally fully booked very quickly, so don’t dally for too long before reserving your place!

Further information is available from the Yecla tourist office (telephone 968 754104, email turismo@yecla.es) and from the Teatro Concha Segura (telephone 968 751134, email teatro@yecla.es).
