The project of relaunching this pilgrimage route, which connects with the Camino de Santiago, has been one of the topics discussed
In 2019, the Foundation has made investments in promotion and equity worth nearly 600,000 euros
The Board of Trustees of the Camino de la Cruz Foundation has met in Caravaca to take stock of the actions carried out during this year, with an investment close to 600,000 euros, and plan new initiatives for 2020.
After the meeting chaired by the Minister of Tourism, Youth and Sports, Cristina Sánchez, the mayor of Caracas, José Francisco García, has informed that the Camino de la Cruz Foundation will invest 90,000 euros for the relaunch of the 'Camino del Norte', via 900-kilometer historic pilgrimage, from Puente la Reina (Navarra) to Caravaca de la Cruz.

The action consists in improving the signaling of the road from 2020 and renewing the agreements with the different communities and municipalities through which the itinerary passes (90 municipalities and five autonomous communities), in order to reinforce the positioning of the Region as a reference of cultural and religious tourism, with Caravaca de la Cruz as a reference for the project.
The Minister of Tourism, Youth and Sports said that "we seek to reach agreements with Navarra, Aragon, Valencia and Castilla-La Mancha to improve the route and the conditions of the journey, enhancing the number of accommodations and offering lovers of this type tourism the best conditions to make the journey attractive.
