Ascent to the busy Cruz de la Muela along the PR-CV 59 trail and descent through the Barranco de las Minas, which we had not yet seen. Still very hot.

A nice round with great views over both sides. Orihuela and Murcia. And in good weather even to the sea.
The last part of the path no longer exists (new building area), but the amigos demla muela have already put up new path markings and you are guided correctly in the same(!) way.
