New walking path opens between Lorca and the Castle
The Town Hall of Lorca has created a new walking route, 2.3 km long called the Ruta de las Ermitas. It runs from the castle to the Parque de la Mujer, one of the highest points of the city. The final part of the route is only 300 meters long but as its on a steep slope, there is a stairway across the gradient. The path passes the old church of San Lázaro and is also close to that of San Roque, and of course the panoramic views out over Lorca and the Guadalentín valley. The Ruta de las Ermitas provides a picturesque and healthy walking option for residents and visitors alike.
