The Noroeste region of Murcia covers an area of almost 238 thousand hectares and reaches the borders of the provinces of Almeria, Granada and Albacete. It is a region rich in history, heritage and natural wealth of enormous importance, characterized by countless trails and routes of great ecotourism appeal.

Among the many routes and trails in the Noroeste region, the most attractive and popular are the Atalaya de Bullas Trail (of just over 5 linear kilometres) that starts from the "Camino de los Muletos" and continues along the hill of the same name and the "Collado de la Atalaya", where you can see spectacular fields and terraces full of almond trees.

The circular Silla de la Copa Trail has a distance of just over 4 kilometres that crosses urban roads and streets containing heritage monuments such as the Hermitage of Saint Anthony and the Way of the Cross and enters the "Los Derramadores" viewpoint before continuing through beautiful viewpoints such as "Paso de las Vacas". It ends along the initial rural road. The Fuente de la Higuera Trail, of about 7 circular kilometres, offers spectacular sights of natural beauty, as well as crop fields in the middle of the magnificent rural landscape.

Another beautiful circular path is the Cehegin 10,000 Steps Route, which is just over 4 kilometres long. Hikers can admire the superb archaeological site of Begastri, continue along a path full of streams and do exercises or calisthenics on the many gymnastics machines along the way.
