Geocache Description:

Multi Stage cache around the city of Murcia

This is an offset cache that takes you around some of the sights of Murcia city before you get to the cache itself at a well-known viewpoint for the city. You will need:

A car (moped or whatever, possibly a decent bicycle if you are fit and have plenty of time)
Good walking boots

-> Muti-cache de recorrido por el centro de Murcia para dar con las coordenadas finales del cache en el Parque Regional El Valle.

CLUE LOCATION 1
N 37º59.039 W 1º7.753
Here in this wonderful square you will see a large star-like pattern on the floor that extends to all corners of the square. Stand in the middle of the star and count the number of 'spokes' that come out from the star shape. Use this number, 'a', fill in the blank for the coordinates of the next location.

-> Contad el número de haces de la estrella del pavimento = "a"

CLUE LOCATION 2
N 37º5a.048 W 1º7.808
Here you will find an excellent tapas bar. If you are lucky, the bar will be open and you can sample their specialities, deep fried empanadillas and zarangolla. Outside the tapas bar, you will see the founding year of the bar on the sign above the door. Subtract 142 from the year and this will give you digits 'bbbb' to use in the coordinates for the next clue.

-> bbbb = (año de fundación de la taberna) - 142

CLUE LOCATION 3
N 37º59.208 W bºb.bb
Here you will find yourself at a local seat of culture. Look north at the pink building and count the number of double-doors at the main entrance to the building. Add 3 to the number of double doors and you will get a digit 'c' to use in the final coordinates.

-> c = (Número accesos de doble puerta de la fachada principal) + 3

CACHE LOCATION
N 37º5c.477 W 1º5.79c
You will need to park and scramble a little to the cache itself.
-> Depende de dónde aparques y por dónde accedas tendrás que subir o bajar un tramo hasta el caché.

-> Rebajo la valoración sobre la dificultad del terreno. Aumento la dificultad de encontrar el caché por el camuflaje.

-> Modifico la coordenada de localización del caché (final) con la que me ha proporcionado falaubabau. Su media sólo difiere en un dígito del resultado de la mía y me fío más de su experiencia.

-> Las fotografías "Spoiler for location" contienen todos los datos para obtener a, b y c... útil para el caso de obras o reformas (pero lo interesante es no consultarlas, si se puede).
