Soon, road and Caravaca, we find the first major viaduct: 200 m.
length flying high over the Rambla Perea.
After crossing the road C-415 (our partner travel the entire route) with special caution.
After the road is the Station of La Puebla de Mula (Km.3).
On the other side for another spectacular viaduct crossed the River Mula.
