Park rangers have decided to close parts of the popular Parque Regional in Murcia due protect certain species

Sierra Espuna Regional Park partially closed until July 2023

Due to the risk to the conservation of protected species in the breeding period in the Carmona-Cuevas Luengas and Solana de Pedro López areas of the Sierra Espuña Regional Park, transit will be temporarily restricted from January to June (both months included) to any person or vehicle, whether motorised or not.

In their announcement of this partial closure, the Sierra Espuña team thanked park users for their participation in helping to conserve protected species, and asked for continued collaboration to avoid disturbance to those species, especially during critical periods for the survival of their populations.

“The paths that are cut in the area will be signposted in order to cause the minimum inconvenience to the users of the Regional Park,” they said.

“In the Carmona-Cuevas Luengas area, the Senda del Agua and other paths that run along its periphery will continue to be passable, as in previous years.

“In the Pedro López area, the forest tracks and the PR-Mu-63 (Sendero del Pedro López) will continue to be passable.”
