November 10 Free guided walk at the natural monument of Monte Arabí in Yecla

A gentle 6-kilometre walk at the magic mountain in northern Murcia

This free walking tour of the mountain of Monte Arabí in the far north of the Region of Murcia offers a chance to discover some of the magic which surrounds the mythical site as well as its natural heritage and its geo-diversity.

In addition, this is one of the routes which includes the prehistoric rock art included in a UNESCO Wolrd Heritage Site, with explanations provided by a specialist from the Cayetano de Mergelina archaeology museum in Yecla. 

The walk is a comfortable 6 kilometres and is expected to end at approximately 13.30, leaving time to head back into Yecla itself for a well-deserved lunch! Although the event is free of charge prior registration is required online here. Those travelling from Yecla can do so in convoy from the roundabout on Ronda Norte next to Bodegas Castaño (click here for map). 

This walk is not recommended for those aged under 9, and visitors should be aware that it does not include the prehistoric rock art which has been awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO.

If visiting Yecla don’t forget to make sure one of your first ports of call is the tourist office (Plaza Mayor, 1, email turismo@yecla.es, telephone 968 754104).
