Hiking Collection by Ana Carmen
Path of the Cross of the Altiplano – GR 251

The GR 251 crosses the Murcian high plateau, a solitary journey that transports you to another dimension. The populations are found, at a minimum, 25 kilometers apart from each other, leaving a wide space where nature grows free and overflowing.
I have designed this collection by dividing the route into three stages, each one ending in a different locality where you can replenish supplies and find accommodation.
The terrain through which this Route runs is mostly trails and tracks. There may be some stony sections or with sudden slopes, so it is advisable to wear appropriate footwear and, if you prefer, Trekking Poles to face the long days with greater comfort.
The climate in this area is usually dry and sunny for most of the year, with intense summers in which the heat is strong from the early hours of the day, and cold winters where mornings and nights can be quite refreshing. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant seasons to explore these places, with mild temperatures and clear skies that enhance the beauty of the landscape.
Both Yecla and Calasparra have bus stations, a good option if your starting point allows it.
Without further ado, I can only wish you to enjoy your new adventure.
