At calle de las Monjas 19, beside the museums: maps, hours, museum bookings and the Camino de la Cruz. Open on Sunday morning.

The Caravaca de la Cruz Tourist Office is at calle de las Monjas 19, in the same building as the Museum of the Festival, right in the old town. It is the starting point for organising your visit: it gives the town map, informs about hours and handles bookings for the municipal museums.
Hours

Monday to Friday: 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:30 to 19:30.
Saturdays: 10:30 to 14:00 and 16:30 to 19:30.
Sundays and public holidays: 10:30 to 14:00.

Phones: 968 70 24 24 and 968 70 10 03. Email: turismo@caravacadelacruz.es. As it opens on Sunday mornings, it also serves those arriving on a weekend break.
Museums and bookings
Caravaca has seven museums, and the office provides information on all of them: the Museum of the Holy and Vera Cruz, the Museum of the Festival, the La Soledad Museum (archaeological), the Fuentes del Marqués Nature Interpretation Centre, the Ethnic Music Museum (Blanco Fadol collection, in the hamlet of Barranda), the Carrilero Museum, which can only be visited by appointment, and the Wine Horses Museum, with its own phone, 868 18 50 96.
Bookings for the municipal museums are made on 968 70 56 20 or at reservas@caravacadelacruz.es, and tickets can be bought online at Caravaca's museums and events shop. The Vera Cruz Museum, at Cuesta del Castillo 9, costs €3; the Basilica can be visited freely.
What else it offers
On its website you can download a PDF map of Caravaca, and it has a virtual tourist office and a section on jubilee experiences. It also publishes a list of useful phone numbers: bus station (699 91 75 18), taxis, including a 24-hour one (622 93 65 24) and an adapted one (646 22 30 09), health centre (968 70 24 12), hospital emergencies (968 70 91 00) and Local Police (968 70 20 01). The Vera Cruz Brotherhood is on the same street, at number 9 (968 70 75 28).
How to plan your visit
From the office, the walk from the Templete to the plaza del Arco tours the old town, and the climb leads to the Vera Cruz Castle and Basilica. For a nature outing, ask about the Fuentes del Marqués, a little over 2 km away, and the Northwest Greenway, which links with the Camino de la Cruz. If you coincide with the May festivals, 1 to 5, ask for the day's programme.
Getting there
Without a car, the Interbus line from Murcia reaches the bus station in a little under an hour and a half on the fastest services. By campervan, the municipal area on calle Pabellón is half a kilometre from the centre.
