Green Route of the Northwest

Along the Green Route of the Northwest, in addition, is overlapped the “Camino de la Cruz” (The route of the cross), named GR-252 (Camino del Apostol, Apostle Route), and has two paths: one begins in Orihuela and goes to Murcia, where connects to Via Verde itself, and the other one begins in Cartagena, more specifically in Darsena del Apostol Santigo, and connects to Via Verde in Murcia too, joining to Via Verde itself in Caravaca.

Via Verde supposes an important way of peregrination that adds one more tourist incentive for all the pilgrims and visitors that want to come to our city on the occasion of the Holy year, in an alternative way: walking, on horseback or on a bike.

This route is important because it puts together in a same product a long series of attractions that reinforce the tourism of the Region of Murcia in several areas such as the religious, cultural, rural, active tourism, etc.

The creation of the Network of Youth hostels of Via Verde (Red de Albergues) added value for pilgrims and travelers and contributes to improve the economy of those towns through which it passes and, as such, all the Region of Murcia.
