On Thursday, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia traveled to Caravaca de la Cruz to celebrate the conclusion of its 2024 Jubilee Year, a milestone event that significantly boosted tourism and the regional economy.
Their visit underscored the town’s historical and religious significance, as Caravaca de la Cruz is one of the few places in the world granted the privilege of celebrating a Perpetual Jubilee every seven years.
During their time in the town, the royal couple learned about the impact of the Jubilee Year, which attracted over 800,000 visitors—an impressive 60% increase from 2017. With thousands of pilgrims walking the "caravacensis" route and over 338,000 people participating in religious activities at the Basilica-Sanctuary, the event reinforced Caravaca de la Cruz’s reputation as a major spiritual and cultural destination.
