June 4, 11 and 17 Guided tours of Jumilla castle


ARCHIVED ARTICLE -

Discover the historic castle of Jumilla and admire the fabulous panoramic views

June 4, 11 and 17 Guided tours of Jumilla castleThis is an opportunity to see all of the storeys of the impressive castle which stands above the town of Jumilla in the north of Jumilla, from the dungeons to the terrace on top of the keep, as well as to learn about the important role the fortification has played in the history of the town.

Jumilla castle has undergone extensive renovation in recent years but is in many ways everything one might expect of a medieval fortress: it stands in a position of dominance high on a hilltop above the town, it commands panoramic views over the surrounding area, it has an imposing keep four floors high with crenelated battlements and it generally gives the impression of being close to impregnable.

June 4, 11 and 17 Guided tours of Jumilla castleThese attributes were those foremost in the mind of Juan Pacheco, the first Marquis of Villena, when he ordered the castle to be built in 1461 to defend the town and the surrounding countryside, of which he had been put in charge 16 years previously. However, at least in choosing the location, the Marquis had his task made easier by the fact that previous fortresses had stood in the same spot for many centuries.

The tours being at 10.30 on June 4 and 11 and at 19.00 on June 17 at the tourist office, from where participants will need their own transport to reach the castle. Registration costs just 2 euros and is available online here. Bookings can also be made through Jumilla tourist office (Plaza del Rollo, 1, telephone 968 780237 or 663 300779, email oficinaturismo@jumilla.org).

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.
