ARCHIVED - New walking path opened between Lorca and the castle

ARCHIVED ARTICLE -

The Ruta de las Ermitas covers a distance of 2.3 kilometres between the Fortress of the Sun and the Parque de la Mujer

<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - New walking path opened between Lorca and the castle The Town Hall of Lorca has created a new walking route called the “Ruta de las Ermitas”, having completed work on the stretch which runs from the castle to the Parque de la Mujer, one of the highest points in the built-up area of the city.

This final part of the route is only 300 metres long but it is on a steep slope, and it has been necessary to create a stairway across the gradient. Alongside are a handrail and over 100 newly planted trees and bushes. The path passes the old church of San Lázaro and is also close to that of San Roque, and of course the views out over Lorca and the Guadalentín valley are highly impressive.

In all, the Ruta de las Ermitas is 2.3 kilometres long and it joins the recently created 4.7-kilometre route of the Cejo de los Enamorados, providing attractive and healthy walking options for residents and visitors alike.
