It can be climbed by two variants, from Algezares (5.5 km and 369 of unevenness) or from San José (6.20 km and 382 of unevenness). Both will travel through a unique place with beautiful views of Murcia. The final part from San José, before, was broken but now offers asphalt in perfect condition. The name of the Cresta del Gallo comes from the peculiar shape of the mountain to which we are heading. Going up from San José we will go down to the Virgen de la Fuensanta Sanctuary, patron saint of Murcia.
