Trade Murcia’s coastal buzz for high plateaus and pale limestone as you head to Caravaca de la Cruz, one of five Catholic jubilee cities since 1998. Climb to the Sanctuary of the Vera Cruz (16th century) set inside the former Templar alcázar, wander the terraced lanes around Plaza del Arco, then detour to the crystalline springs of the Río Argos near Cehegín. It’s an easy 75 km via the A-30 and RM-15: Bullas vines on one side, pine woods on the other, and the old town appears at 625 meters.
Your driver meets you at your Murcia hotel with a Mercedes at the ready, and the day stays flexible: early start, photo stops at Fuentes del Marqués, lunch at a local venta, or a detour if Cehegín’s market is lively. In Caravaca de la Cruz, your private chauffeur in the Region of Murcia handles drop-offs close to the sanctuary, waits during visits, and rolls whenever you’re done; you explore, sip a Bullas wine, and they drive. Expect to return late afternoon, maybe with a golden-hour pause at Bullas’s medieval tower.

Aim for Wednesday or Friday when the old town is quieter and sanctuary access is swift; in summer, depart before 8:30 to walk Fuentes del Marqués in the shade.
