Stage Description

A stage of the Camino de la Lana, a historic route used by transhumant shepherds and wool traders between Alicante and Burgos. The 15 km link Almansa (with its spectacular castle on the Cerro del Águila) with Alpera, in the middle of the Sierra del Mugrón. The landscape is of Mediterranean scrubland, vineyards and almond crops. Alpera is famous for its prehistoric cave paintings (World Heritage).
The stage that joins Almansa with Alpera is a gentle profile day that ventures into the Monte Ibérico-Corredor of Almansa region. The landscape is dominated by the extensive vineyards of the D.O. Almansa. The great attraction of the stage is its destination. Alpera is famous for hosting the Cave of the Old, one of the most important Levantine rock art sites in the peninsula, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Visiting the cave is an unique experience, a journey to prehistory. Additionally, Alpera has an interesting museum and a beautiful church. It's a final stage culturally very rich.
