December 14 Testing hike in the 1500-metre mountains of Alhama and Totana
The “Objetivo Pedro López” walk is a 9.5-km hike in the peaks of Sierra Espuña
One of the last free activities this autumn in the “Mochila de Actividades” program, which takes place in the Regional Parks of Murcia, is this 9.5-kilometre hike on Sunday 14th December in the mountains of Sierra Espuña.
The route is described as being of “medium” difficulty but at this time of year adverse weather conditions could make it a real test of strength and stamina! In fine weather, on the other hand, you are guaranteed marvellous panoramic views!
The walk starts at 9.30 and is expected to last 4 hours and is not open to under-12s. Registration is available online here starting on 29th December at 9.30.
