Mountain bike route with a visit to the archaeological sites of Monte Arabí (Yecla, Murcia), declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO (World Heritage Site for Rock Art of the Mediterranean Arc). We started a mountain biking route (mountain biking, all mountain, MTB, BTT, XC, cross country) leaving from La Alqueria (Jumilla, Murcia, Spain), quite cold and going towards the Monte de Gavilanes, towards the mills of wind to then go to Monte Arabí and visit the archaeological sites: prehistoric cazoletas (petroglyphs) from 10,000 BC, Cueva del Mediodía, Cantos de Visera and cave paintings.
The community Alonsojpd, Paquito206, Patricia Carmona, Kronxito, Maria, Antonio, Patrick and Angel started this route with our mountain bikes and the winter community kits starting from La Alquería and climbing towards the windmills of Monte Gavilanes. After the ascent ramp, we stop for a little lunch and rest, although the cold wind makes us not delay very long.
We pedal on our bikes towards the road that goes down to the plain, but we have to turn around when we see signs of a nearby hunt. We chose to look for another alternative path. The community Kronxito sees some straw alpacas and throws himself at them.
We continue with the route, exploring some area and looking for the way to reach Monte Arabí. Once there we stop for lunch in the area of rock engravings, cazoletas (petroglyphs). The community Paquito206 exposes its two theories of what these petroglyphs represent from 2000 BC.
After lunch we head towards the Cueva del Mediodía, a peculiar geological formation with a hole in the middle that makes it a must see. We descend to the Cantos de Visera, to see the cave paintings of 2,000 a.C ..
A great mountain biking route combining sport, nature, prehistory and archeology.
