The Carmelite Fathers have handed over to the mayors and priests of the municipalities that are on the Way of St. John of the Cross a cane replica of the original that carried the mystical Carmelite saint and is currently exposed in the Monastery of the Discalced Carmelite Mothers of Granada.
In this way, they wanted to thank the support for this project and their gratitude for the support received in the pilgrimage completed last week.
The mayor of Caravaca de la Cruz, José Moreno, stressed that "the andariegos and andariegas have returned to our homes full of memories, emotions and feelings of great intensity and transcendence.
Without a doubt it has been a great experience. "
The 'Camino de San Juan de la Cruz' emerged at the initiative of the Carmelite Fathers with the aim of consolidating itself as a pilgrimage route that allows to approach the literary and spiritual legacy of the mystic Carmelite saint, but also as a tourist route to make known the patrimonial, landscape and ethnographic richness of those villages through which he spent his trips to Caravaca de la Cruz.
It consists of six stages and a total of 151 kilometers, which run through Beas de Segura, Hornos de Segura, Santiago-Pontones, Nerpio, Moratalla and Caravaca de la Cruz, municipalities that make up a historical region around the Segura River, belonging to the Autonomous communities of Andalusia, Castilla-La Mancha and Murcia.
