Description.
travel the Altiplano, at the foot of the Sierra del Buey, from Yecla Jumilla up and then turn south. Among the Sierras Serral and Salinas, we approached the Sierra del Carche that we west, reaching Homes Ibañez (place where it enters the GR-7 in Murcia from Alicante). After crossing the Rambla de la Raja, ascend to the Sierra de la Pila, that will cross Cold Harbor, with the Sierra Quibo east, where it begins the long descent to the Vega del Segura. Passing through the Garapacha the foot of La Pila, descend along the Rambla del Cantalar between the Sierra and the Sierra Place Bath to Fortuna.
We left the Altiplano, between olive groves and almond trees and vines, to cross the Aleppo pines of the Sierras Carche and battery, and begin to approach the Vega del Segura.
Another of the hardest stages of the TransMurciana. The longer the distance, with its 95 kilometers, and one of the most cycling time, 6 hours (over 8 hours in total). About 1,000 meters of ascent, divided into three ports: one soft, the Alto Yecla width before and two drives, the passage through the Sierra del Carche, and Cold Harbor in the Sierra de la Pila.
TransMurciana According to the Web (Section 18 Jumilla-La Garapacha ) the stage finish in La Garapacha, but when in doubt of the property decided to continue to La Fortuna, which has more range of accommodation, leaving the original route near Las Casicas. During the preparation of the trip could not find the Hospedería Rural La Garapacha , so it would not be necessary to deviate.

Profile.
Chronicle.
crossed the city to leave Jumilla, after passing through an industrial area for the Way of Jimena, paved until near the house of Lawyer. After circling the east the hills of Hermanillos, continue along the Rambla de la Jimena, among the small bushes and saw the shadow of the Ox Mountains in gentle climb up smooth Height Width.

Near the Casa del Cura, linked with a paved runway on the site of the Bohalage in the foothills of La Pava leads us to the big ring around Yecla. After crossing, continue on a track that prevents the N-344 and the Poligono Industrial Las Tejeras. Although the track downloaded from the web ( Section 17 Jumilla-Yecla ) around the south of Castle Hill, I decided to go straight into Yecla. I have a long day ahead and I have not decided definitely where I'll stop.
Without stopping a lot (as in the case of Cieza, I have yet to return to visit more calmly Yecla) continue my journey. Yecla we left along the road C-3223, leading to Pinoso, on the ring, where we left to continue along the old road towards Abanilla the Cerricos del Cano and Portichuelo (narrow passage between the Sierra del Serral and Teja).
At step by Portichuelo agree briefly with the Cañada Real de los Serrano, but we will pass by the road C-3223. The creek passes through a small hill next to the Punta del Portichuelo, is a sign of the PR-MU 90 Serral Trail.

After about 700 meters down the road, we leave to continue paved road (Carretera de la Hoya's Moñigal) parallel to the road, past the Casa de la Selva, to the Casa de la Hoya's Moñigal. We begin the ascent to Raspay (7.4 km and 220 m climb) where left by a road with a sign in poor condition (short stretch drive down the hill) to go to MU-15-a. We took the paved road that leads to Raspay.
Raspay Leaving by road to the diversion of the track (Ivy Road) which gives access to Regional Park Sierra del Carche . At the end of the slope (second port ended the hard day we had started at the Casa de la Hoya's Moñigal) left the track and take the Vereda de las Casas de Castilla, declining to Casas Ibanez. At this point comes in Murcia GR-7, from Pinoso, after crossing the Comunidad Valenciana from Fred. To our right the mountains of Reclot Alicante, Algaiat, and sticking to the bottom profile of the Sierra del Cid. On the horizon we have the Quibo Sierra and the Sierra de la Pila where we are headed.

After a rapid descent, connect with the road C-3213 of Jumilla pines, which continue for a mile to the turnoff to Houses of the Holy Spirit, and go out then to the A-28, which bears the Solana de la Raja, to Torre del Rico.

| Camino de la Sierra de la Pila |
By Poveda Cañada Road (paved road) we descend to cross MU-19-ay the Rambla de la Raja, to continue to La Zarza. Turn right by the MU-10-a, after about 600 meters, abandon it and begin the ascent at Cold Harbor, by Way of Peralejo and the Valencian Cordel, among the pines of the Sierra de la Pila (4.5 km and 250 m climb). Although the beginning is on track, the rest is asphalt, with a ramp (maximum 12%), but gentle slope (average gradient of 6%) but demanding, after more than 75 kilometers of road. Consolation is that once up, all that remains is downhill.

| Sierra Carche from the Sierra de la Pila |
From Cold Harbor, go down the Barranco de las Canas in the shady side of the Sierra de la Pila, to connect with the MU-17-road to Fuente Blanca. The track follows a path to enter shortcut in the town but worth it. Following the road, on the top of the stack, we arrived at the Garapacha (short but "damn" rise). At this moment I discover the Hospedería Rural La Garapacha (can not find accommodation in preparing the route) and avoiding the diversion to Fortuna.

I decided to stop at Fortuna., I appreciate the opportunity to reach Fenazar, but fatigue made me decide to continue on the MU-17-a, with 10 miles but in decline and without loss. About The Casicas, left the track of the TransMurciana, which continues to follow the straight line from the Valencian (poster track livestock), for the landing and up Fenazar Huron, between the Sierra Place to the east and the Sierra de la Espada west.

| Cortado de las Peñas |
From The Casicas, the road continues down the Rambla del Cantalar wedged between the Sierra's Place and Sierra del Cortado bath until the Peñas, where we passed the rugged landscape of the Sierra the battery across the plain where it sits Fortuna. Meeting red and white Trail belonging to Lignum Crucis (Abanilla-Ulea) .
Accommodation: Hotel 2 * Costs. 30 €. Of the three hotels that are in Fortune's just the only one in the town. The other two are in Los Banos, 3 kilometers, where the Fortuna Spa. Rather expensive but correct. Very good dinner menu.
