Arabi Mount (Yecla - Murcia)
Visiting the Arabi Mount is ideal to isolate yourself from the city. You can see great views while taking in pure air, relaxing and filling yourself with peace.

The magic of Arabi Mount

This mountainous elevation can awaken an air of mystery in those who visit it. You will find it surrounded by fingerprints left by past civilizations; rock paintings, petroglyphs and symbologies will leave you thinking about the evolution of man during these years.

From this gigantic rock mole, you can appreciate a unique landscape made up of carrascos pine forests embellished with the presence of different types of animals. The presence and great diversity of the birds of the Yecla-Jumilla Altiplano region predominates.

This great natural structure is located in the municipality of Yecla. Although its extension is small, it has a height of 1,065 meters above sea level.

How to enjoy the place

There is a route called Arabi Mount Path (PR-MU91), with moderate difficulty, especially for those who wish to travel without much exertion. If you want to take a guided tour, you must contact the Yecla Tourism Office to schedule the day and time of your tour.
 
Arabi Mount has several points of interest within its extension: the church door, the well of La Buitrera, the Cave of La Horadada, the “cantos de visera” (rock art declared a World Heritage Site), the Cave of Mediodia, the “Arabilejo” and its “Cazoletas”, the Cave of the Treasury (related to popular legends) and the hermitage of the Martha house.

Keep in mind that to explore cave paintings, you will need a special permit from the Yecla Archaeological Museum.
 
Arabi Mount has an admirable and genuine modelling caused by the erosion of water and wind. This art, forged by nature itself, has left incredible reliefs and formations, worthy of constant geological studies.
