Access to the Sierra de la Muela in Alhama is not allowed this Sunday December 22
A hunting party will be held in Alhama de Murcia this Sunday and that means other uses are prohibited
All citizens are informed that the Sierra de la Muela in Alhama de Murcia is off limits due to a hunt taking place in the area on Sunday December 22. Though the Sierra de la Muela is municipal land, it is also hunting land and these sporting events frequently take place there.
The land is the responsibility of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia and they allow groups to hunt the area for a number of reasons surrounding conservation.
To ensure everyone's safety this Sunday in the area, access to roads, forest tracks and trails throughout the mountain range is prohibited.
The Local Council of Alhama de Murcia has informed the citizens that because of this inconvenience it creates a good opportunity to visit other places of interest, such as Sierra Espuña or Carrascoy.
