ARCHIVED - August 11 to 21 Fiestas de la Vendimia in Jumilla


ARCHIVED ARTICLE

<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - August 11 to 21 Fiestas de la Vendimia in JumillaThe August fiestas in Jumilla revolve around the grape harvest and the renowned folk festival

Jumilla celebrates its annual fiestas in August, combining the celebrations of the feast day of the Virgen de la Asunción (the patron of the town) with the grape picking fiestas (the Fiesta de la Venidmia, which is being held for the 48th time this year), a folk music and dance festival and the Moors and Christians celebrations, although unfortunately this year the Moors and Christians events are unlikely to be held..

<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - August 11 to 21 Fiestas de la Vendimia in JumillaThere are a variety of events and processions, including a traditional parade celebrating the process of wine-making, a children’s parade and the Cabalgata del Vino. This latter is the best known and most popular, and during the parade thousands of litres of wine are flung out into the crowd and poured over the assembled revellers, a small percentage of it ending up inside the attendees and the remainder all over their clothes. Wear white, and don´t be afraid to get wet (and red)!

There are other events relating to the celebration of wine fiestas including a wine “Miniferia”, in which the Bodegas display and promote their products and visitors purchase a glass which enables them to sample the various offerings in the booths, and a red wine fountain flows throughout the main days of the fiestas.

Additional activities include a grape treading competition and a grape pip spitting competition as well as the elements to keep the peñas (fiesta groups) happy, which include a fairground. Meanwhile, the folk festival (held this year on August 13 to 15) has become one of the most important of its kind in Spain over the course of its 40-year-old history.

The Mini Feria del Vino is located in the Jardín del Rey Don Pedro, while the wine fountain and the starting point for several of the activities are in the Plaza de la Glorieta and the main hostelry area and encampments of the local peñas are on Paseo Poeta Lorenzo Guardiola.

Some of the performances and musical events are in the Arzobispo Lozano secondary school (click for map).

The program of events during the 2022 Fiesta de la Vendimia, the 49th holding of the event, is as follows (although this schedule is complemented by those for the folk festival and for individual concerts, see here):

Jumilla Tourist Office

Oficina de Turismo Jumilla

The tourist office in the centre of Jumilla is easily found by driving straight into the centre of the town along the Avenida de Murcia and following the signposts. The tourist office is alongside the Parque de Don Albano Martínez Molina, where there are a number of parking spaces.

Jumilla, in the north of the Region of Murcia, has become internationally famous over recent decades due to the quality of the wines produced in the municipality, and wine tourism has begun to attract visitors from other parts of Spain and the rest of Europe.

The tourist office is happy to provide a range of maps and leaflets showing the different bodegas which can be visited within the municipality. Some of these form part of the Rutas del Vino de Jumilla, the Jumilla wine route, and can either be visited as a guided tour or sell their produce directly to the public.(see feed below for more details)

However, the town and the surrounding countryside have plenty of other attractions for visitors, and the popularity of Jumilla wines is leading more and more people to discover other facets of the tenth largest municipality in Spain.

Jumilla Tourist Office

These include the spectacular countryside and birdlife in the Sierra del Carche, the historic remains which range from cave paintings and a Roman mausoleum to the castle, the Iglesia de Santiago, the Town Hall and the Teatro Vico, and the gastronomy: rich stews are accompanied not only by the wines of the area but also by Jumilla pears, which also enjoy Denomination of Origin status.

Tourism in Jumilla is not as seasonal as it is in the coastal areas of the Region of Murcia, but the town is at its liveliest during the fiestas in Holy Week and the August Fair, which incorporates the grape harvest celebrations and the Moors and Christians parades.

The Altiplano of the Region of Murcia, which consists of the municipalities of Jumilla and Yecla, is only just over an hour by car from the Mar Menor, Cartagena, Mazarrón, Torrevieja and Alicante, and anyone wishing to visit real inland Spain and world-class wineries is advised to include Jumilla in their schedule.
