October 17 Free tour of the 6 main religious institutions in Caravaca de la Cruz
The city of Caravaca has been attracting Catholic pilgrims since the 14th century
Caravaca de la Cruz has attracted Catholic pilgrims and other religious tourists ever since the 14th century and this is still reflected in six monasteries, convents and foundations which remain standing to this day.
They helped to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the city and their presence nowadays helps us to remember the grandeur and splendour of Caravaca in the past.
This free guided tour on 17th October visits these six foundations and includes explanations (in Spanish) of their historical significance and special characteristics. The route begins at the Castillo-Basílica Santuario de la Vera Cruz with a brief historical introduction and a visit to the chapel where the True Cross itself is kept, continuing to the religious institutions of Santa María de Gracia de Franciscanos, the Monasterio de Santa Clara, the Convento de San José de Carmelitas Descalzas, the Colegio de la Compañía de Jesús, the Convento de Nuestra Señora del Carmen de Padres Carmelitas Descalzos and, to finish, Los Jerónimos.
Most of these visits will be outside the buildings but where limited access is permitted entry is included.
The tour begins at 11.30 outside the tourist office and Museo de las Fiestas at Calle de las Monjas nº 19 and lasts approximately 2 hours. Although it is free of charge previous bookings are required online here.
Further information about Caravaca is available from the tourist office (Plaza de España, 7, telephone 968 702 424, email turismo@caravacadelacruz.es).
