400 components of the III Parachute Flag 'Ortiz de Zarate', belonging to the Infantry Regiment 'Zaragoza nº 5', have been pilgrims to Caravaca de la Cruz, on the occasion of the Jubilee Year 2017.
Upon arrival in the city, the mayor, Jose Moreno, welcomed the unit, headed by Colonel Chief of Staff Luis Sánchez-Tembleque and Lieutenant Colonel Chief of the Third Flag, Rafael Guisasola.
"This is the first large pilgrimage we received in the newly inaugurated Jubilee Year," recalled the first mayor.
They then continued on to the Royal Basilica of the True Cross.
The III Parachute Flag has taken advantage of its preparation program as parachute infantrymen to carry out their annual march to Caravaca de la Cruz, completing on foot a distance of 60 kilometers, from Campos del Río, by the Northwest Greenway.
