Pico de los Almeces, at 1,123 meters, is the highest point in the Sierra de Ricote mountain range. Reaching it is a challenge for hiking enthusiasts, but the reward is well worth it: breathtaking panoramic views, unspoiled nature, and a unique sense of accomplishment. The circular route is approximately 17 km long, with an elevation gain of 770 meters. It begins on the outskirts of the town of Ricote and winds through stunning natural landscapes, passing through pine forests, rosemary bushes, and trails that meander through the mountains.

One step away from Murcia, there is no excuse to go

In this area you will find what remains of the more than 80 kilometers of irrigation ditches that date back to the Arab and Roman era. Here we can find important vegetation typical of humid areas such as ivy, sarsaparilla, elm or maidenhair.

This paved port is famous because it has been included in the circuit of the Cycling Tour of Spain on several occasions. It is demanding, but worth the effort. Once at the summit, all that remains is to enjoy the splendid landscape.

Make sure you have enough water and leave the tough climb on time

The reservoir Alfonso XIII or reservoir of Quípar covers an area of 216 hectares and is located 300 m. above sea level. It dams the water from the river Quípar that crosses the area in SW-NE direction. It can be considered one of the most important continental wetlands of the Region of Murcia, being home to a large number of aquatic birds. It was built in 1917 with the aim of avoiding the catastrophic consequences that the swellings of the river Quípar had for the Vega Alta of the Segura. It was inaugurated in the year 1918 by King Alfonso XIII. Sunset can give great scenery, see my photos.

The Santuario de La Virgen de La Esperanza is more than worth a visit. A beautiful rock-hewn church with blackened ceilings from the torches used to light it. The area is also very beautiful with the River Segura flowing in front of the Santuario. We live 4 km's from this church.
