Holiday apartment in Los Garcías – Hiking to the Canteras Romanas

Los Garcías begins with a specific route: a circular hiking trail starts in the village and passes by the Canteras Romanas. From this starting point, the other described routes can be distinguished by their course, destination and approximate length.

Hiking

One hiking route to Las Escarihuelas described by CEX Cartagena passes through Los Garcías and Tentegorra. This route is approximately 12 to 13 km long. Another hiking route to the Canteras Romanas described by CEX Cartagena passes through Los Garcías. It was prepared as a car-free route through the surrounding countryside of Cartagena and is approximately 13.5 to 14 km long. Thus, in addition to the circular hiking trail, there are two named routes with different destinations and their own stated lengths. The approximate distances indicate two different ranges: the route to Las Escarihuelas is approximately 12 to 13 km, while the route to the Canteras Romanas covers approximately 13.5 to 14 km. Together with the circular hiking trail, this provides a selection that differs primarily in terms of destination, route and length.
