The mayor of Caravaca de la Cruz, José Francisco García - who made the last stage of the journey from the moratallera district of El Salbinar - thanked the Carmelite community "for the involvement as promoters of this historic pilgrimage path, which is a new incentive for the tourism sector, based on the important link that both San Juan and Santa Teresa de la Cruz, key figures of universal mysticism, forged with Caravaca de la Cruz. "
José Francisco García affirmed that the signaling must be completed and the promotion of the road promoted, working in coordination with the Carmelite Fathers and with the 'Group of Cities of San Juan de la Cruz', composed of the municipalities of the municipalities where the road runs .
The mayor also encouraged "to live the personal experience of making the road, discovering the paths that the Carmelite saint traveled in his visits to Caravaca and enjoying the wonderful landscapes of the Sierra de Segura. A trip inland, in which the hardness of the road is rewarded for what it looks and feels at every step. "
The road is traced by the same towns and places that the doctor of the Church traveled during his trips to Caravaca, from 1579 to 1587, date on which he was sent by Saint Teresa of Jesus to assist the religious in the first chapter of the order founded in 1575. The journey has a total of 151 kilometers and consists of five stages (Beas de Segura-Hornos de Segura, Hornos de Segura-Pontones, Pontones-Santiago de la Espada, Santiago de la Espada-Nerpio, Nerpio- El Sabinar, El Sabinar-Caravaca de la Cruz).
