The road "Campo de Cartagena" starts in the basin of Santiago de Cartagena, where according to legend, the Apostle landed to evangelize the Iberian Peninsula.

The 136 km fully signposted, passing through Cartagena, Fuente Alamo, Alhama, Totana, Lorca and Caravaca de la Cruz.
With this new road, the so-called "low Guadalentín" coming out of Mazarrón, are now two (eight) the marked trails that pass through Totana and also "make night" in our town
