The bridge over the Fuensanta reservoir is beautiful, but what is even more beautiful is the road that goes up towards Yeste. With the saddlebags and a few extra kilos I take it easy.

To visit this beautiful place, you can follow the botanical itinerary or simply explore its natural corners. I hope you enjoy Las Fuentes del Marqués in Caravaca de la Cruz! 🌿

Bridge over the Segura River, with a very interesting and photogenic shape, also with great views of the Fuensanta reservoir. The bridge was built in 2007.

But it is undoubtedly the heritage of the Andalusian legacy that has brought beauty and personality to the peculiar urban structure of Letur, crossed by irrigation ditches and a multitude of walkways. The good conservation of the town, one of the jewels of Castilla La Mancha, led to Letur being declared a Historic Artistic Site in 1983. To enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the town there are several short and easy trails. Hiking fans can access the Segura Canyon via the Regalí Trail. The fertile valleys of Letur have facilitated great agro-productive dynamism with such famous companies as 'El Cantero de Letur', dedicated to organic dairy and cheese production.

Declared a Historic-Artistic Site, Letur is one of the most beautiful towns in Spain thanks to its peculiar urban structure, heritage of the Andalusian legacy and a fertile territory that facilitates its agro-productive dynamism. It is essential to experience the LeturAlma festival promoted by the singer Rozalén. It is located on a hill over several fertile valleys with several viewpoints with impressive views. Its excellent location made it possible for it to have been populated since the Paleolithic, as witnessed by its manifestations of Levantine Rock Art – a World Heritage Site – or the Iberian sites of Macalón, La Muela or Los Castillicos.
