Highlight • Religious Site

The Sanctuary of the Vera Cruz, also known as the Royal Basilica-Sanctuary of the Vera Cruz, is located in Caravaca de la Cruz, in the Region of Murcia, Spain. This sanctuary is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the country due to the presence of the Vera Cruz, a fragment of the cross on which Jesus Christ is believed to have been crucified.

Las Lorigas Summit

Highlight • Summit

The highest point of the port where a mythical climb for road bike lovers ends. The end is somewhat irregular, but we could say that the climb ends at the height of a sign that informs about the passage of animals.

In this place, located about 7 km from the town of Moratalla and on the slopes of Pico de los Frailes, it is said that the "appearance" of Jesus Christ took place in 1493.
