Description.
Last day to travel the few miles that separate us from Murcia. First of all, from Fortuna, we have to recover the original path in Fenazar TransMurciana. From here we follow the Rambla Salada to the heads of the Black Cave that separate us from the Vega del Segura. Once passed, descend to Cabeza de Torres. There is only through the maze of farm roads of the plain, Murcia and head into the cathedral, worthy end. Stage
easy and very short (less than 50 km), conditioned by the previous stages, which serves as a "tribute" after several tough days. The only difficulty will ascend to the Lomas de la Cuesta, comfortable if not for two short Rampone. To enjoy the principle of descent, which is done by track-rail. Rested, we have all afternoon to enjoy Murcia city.

Profile.
Chronicle.
After two weeks of anticyclonic dominance over the peninsula, changes ahead. And it rained at night, and today I wake up with a gale. Fortunately the rain was very weak and the wind strong from the northwest but will only be a nuisance the first kilometer.
forwarding Fortuna yesterday, forcing me to recover the route., for which the easiest is to follow the road MU-411 (some traffic but good shoulder) from Fortuna to Archena, linking in Fenazar. Are 7.5 miles with two light promotion, which will be complicated by the strong wind against.

In Fenazar turn left to take the road to the cemetery the cemetery, where the asphalt ends. My second fear is confirmed a meters later. Despite the rain the night there was a lot, loamy field where the track is not very footprint, creates zones of mud really bad. In about 20 feet wet, the bike is blocked by the mud. What promised to be a leisurely stroll to Murcia can become a living hell. Fortunately, even with the ground a little heavy, I'll never find me in the same situation.
keep walking along the Rambla Salada, in slight decline, from close to the Brave, to cross the road A-5. Appears white and yellow signs of PR-MU Country Tourist Route 82 Molina de Segura will continue much of the day.

Continue straight, crossing the Rambla Salada and Main Canal on the left bank of the Tajo-Segura to the track that follows the straight line from the Valencian, begin the ascent to the heads of Cueva Negra (4.5 km and 180 m climb). Comfortable and good strong rise (slightly worse at first, much improved since entering the pine forest), were it not for two grueling Rampone near the end. Deserves to stop and enjoy the last views of the mountains that have been left behind us (Sierra de la Espada, the battery and Quibo). To the east stands the Sierra de Orihuela.

Just started the descent, we left the Valencian twine, and we first see Murcia city, from Lomas Cuesta Alta. After such a long road of pilgrimage, one could say that is the "Monte do Gozo" of TransMurciana. With that excitement, I enjoy even more of the beautiful stretch of rail remains front, among the pines through the Rambla de Cuesta Alta.

When faced with the A-7 definitely leave the solitude of the ways to get into Vega del Segura. After crossing Cabezo de Torres, the road becomes a maze of agricultural roads between ditches, cottages and second homes. At first no traffic, it increases as we approach the capital, where we entered the university. There is only stroll to the Cathedral.
