That's what I've been doing for some years an association based in Lorca (Lorca-Santiago Association), but is also compatible with the output from Totana.
A totanero has been with them for the friendship which binds them to the association, and Lorca.
"That has been my summer adventure this year, something I'd recommend to all lovers of two wheels," says Angel Otálora.
"It consisted of 14 stages, which have traveled 1,249 km, and where we have crossed all of Spain, drawing a diagonal, reaching Obradoiro Square at the foot of the Cathedral of Santiago. Can you imagine joining our Church Santiago, monument made in honor of the apostle Santiago, patron saint of our people, the eternal abode of the Apostle in Santiago de Compostela?, think you're a believer or not, is an experience that would be impossible to describe in words, I think the best I can say is "Live it" is what best sums up this wonderful adventure, filled with moments of sacrifice, moments of meditation, moments of joy, but I assure you that the best time is to enter the square Obradoiro and fill the millions of sounds that this place offers people around the world, some on foot, others on horseback, others on bike ... It's awesome, look to the sky and discover the majestic facade of the Cathedral, and continue listening to sounds around you joy, joys of satisfaction at having managed to reach the goal, having achieved the purpose, or promise to offer your effort to the Apostle Santiago. "
"This is my fourth time I've been enjoying this moment, in one way or another, from one source or another, but always surprises you, and gives you new sensations. This does not mean that it is amazing what we have left back, and looking toward the past I have pictures that take a long time deleted, and the arrival at Caravaca, switchable Ruidera gaps, see Toledo from a distance, climb the walls of Avila, Salamanca enter, reach Zamora across the border with Portugal, get closer to Santiago .... and many other images that are impossible to describe. "
"I hope that soon, totaneros are many who can enjoy the" Ruta del Argar "and can bring our people the essence of a pilgrimage that both unites us with the Apostle Santiago, who is our boss."
"I hope these simple words serve to publicize a new way to introduce the rich history, geography, culture, tradition ... we have the Spanish, just with a bicycle, some clothes, and desire to excel, is easy to get a huge amount of images and sensations that you will never forget. "
