This special walk through the area of the abandoned mines of Mazarrón is a step back in time. It feels like you have entered a film set where the stories of the miners come to life again. The first thing you notice are the yellow and red tones on the hills, due to the oxidation of the mine waste.
This walk goes first through the rugged Barranco de Enmedio and then into a more open landscape with some country houses surrounded by almond and olive groves. The area where you literally go over an old irrigation canal offers beautiful views of the plain of Totana and Aledo. Through a beautiful forest path you arrive at the recreational zone of Alquerias and then start a steep climb with beautiful views of the Sierra Espuna.
This walk is ideal to get acquainted with the Sierra de Espuña. In the first part you have a beautiful viewpoint on the Morón de Alhama, a striking mountain, then it goes through pine forests towards the Casa Leiva and La Perdiz. The second part takes you through the path of the dinosaurs in the beautiful valley of the Leiva to the Barranco de las Brujas, the valley of the witches.
The moon landscape in Gebas is unique within the Murcia region, undulating cultivation areas and steep slopes of light chalk. The play of sunlight on the erratic forms of this area makes this walk something special.
This walk gives you a good impression of how hard the local population has to work to grow almonds, figs and olives in this inhospitable area. The irrigation canal La Noguera that you follow is a silent witness of this. You walk along the ridge of the Llano del Pico with beautiful views of the Sierra Espuña and the Barranco de Gebas. You also go through a tunnel and an old excavated canal.
This beautiful walk introduces you to the famous Los Pozos de la Nieve, beautiful panoramas on the flank of the Pedro López and the Barranco de En medio. Finally you get an exceptionally beautiful view of the Morrón de Espuña.
