What can I do in Caravaca after finishing my pilgrimage?

In the Morning

We head to the Parroquia de (Parish Church) de El Salvador (or the church designated for the group of pilgrims), where the Jubilee estación will be held at 11:15 a.m. A priest or deacon will receive us, and, after a brief welcoming prayer, direct us to the Basilica. At this time the pilgrims, arriving in the city on the different paths, all begin their ascent to the Basilica, together. We will enter through the entrance known as the Puerta de San Lazaro, and attend the Pilgrim's Mass at noon, after which we will able to receive a solemn blessing and behold the Most Holy and True Cross.

Pilgrims who wish to remain in Caravaca for two or three days, complementing their pilgrimage with other experiences related to their encounter with the Holy Cross, have the opportunity to experience what we have come to call "At the foot of the Cross" (Al pie de la Cruz).

Pilgrims are offered three possibilities for reflection in the afternoons during their days in Caravaca, pending a request submitted to the Vera Cruz de Caravaca Confraternity:
Catechesis on the mystery of the Cross. Behold the Wood of the Cross
Catechesis: Mary at the foot of the Cross.
Catechesis: John the beloved disciple and the Carmelite Mystics.
