May 24 Guided tour in Spanish of Alhama de Murcia castle

Enjoy a guided tour of Alhama castle following the recent completion of a phase of restoration work

This guided tour is an opportunity for Spanish speakers to see and learn about the recent completion of one of the phases of restoration planned at Alhama de Murcia castle, and begins at 11am on Saturday May 24 at the Tourist Office.

Repair and restoration work at the castle of Alhama de Murcia has meant that the fortress has been closed to the public for quite some time, but now that is all finished, this is your chance to step into the rich history of this majestic Islamic fortress, which has stood guard over the Guadalentín Valley since the late 11th century.

Entitled ‘Encuentros en el Castillo’, this visit will allow visitors to learn about the history of the town’s emblematic monument. Accompanied by an official guide, you can visit the old defensive enclosures, the fortress at the top and the albacar, where the dwellings were once located.

This experience is not recommended for those with limited mobility as the climb up th ecastle hill is a  fairly taxing one.

The tour on May 24 is conducted entirely in Spanish and lasts for approximately two hours, beginning at 11am. The cost of registration is just €3 for adults and €2 for children aged 3-12. Booking is compulsory as places are limited.

You can book online here or via the tourist office of Alhama (telephone 0034 968 633 512, email turismo@alhamademurcia.es).
