Therefore, and to encourage this type of tourism, from the PSOE they consider that it is necessary to advance in the signaling, cleaning, cataloging and promotion of the different hiking trails and routes of our municipality.
The path of the Hunter, that of the Ethiopian, Zorro I and II, the Escarambrujo, El Mirador, the Indómita or the path of the Fool, in the mountains of La Torrecilla or La Peñarrubia;
the paths that run along channels and ravines, such as Las Señoritas, Los Peñones, El Ortillo, the 17 arches or the Rambla del Cambrón, or other "well-known but uncataloged" trails, such as the Pilar trail - climb to the Handle, the musketeers, the Colmenar or the monks, in mountains such as La Tercia, without forgetting the paths and paths, some of them already marked in the high districts or near the coast, are some examples that should be included and promoted in that network of trails they propose.
Mateos assures that the homologation of this network of trails, for which "it is necessary the collaboration of the Public Administrations and also of those private properties through which they run, should favor knowledge of the rural and natural environment," prevailing the safety of the hiker and protecting designs that are compatible with the conservation of the natural heritage and respect for the landscape ".
In addition, he assures that in a parallel and careful way "this initiative would propitiate a new offer of leisure that would help the development of the services sector" since "it promotes the tourist activity" through an offer "deseasonalized and innovative".

A work, remember, also initiated and maintained by athletes like the recently deceased Regino Rodriguez Bermejo.
Mateos said that "those who have today, and have, a love for hiking, in large part thanks to him, know their link to the mountain and their great work at the time of discovering, caring and maintaining endless paths thanks to which, Lorca and visitors can enjoy our natural landscapes while doing this sport and leisure.
