July 2025 Cultural events scheduled in the town of Yecla
Music, dance and cinema at the church of San Francisco in Yecla this July
The program of cultural events organized by the Town Hall of Yecla this July consists of a selection of music, cinema and dance outside the church of San Francisco, all evenings beginning in the cool of the evening at 22.00.
Among the highlights is an evening of popular music with Los Ruiseñores (who celebrate their 65th anniversary this year!), presenting a special concert entitled “Seguimos compartiendo emociones” on Thursday 17th July.
Eight days later on 25th July it’s the turn of Los Amigos del Chete, while in terms of dance and more modern music the starts of the program are the Asociación Flamenca Olé with their Spanish dance show “Sensaciones en el alma” on Friday 18th July.
On 26th July, Alicante artist and composer Elia presents her fusion of pop and electronic music under the direction of Juan Saurín.
In addition, three films are to be screened (in Spanish) at the Cine Pya during the summer: “Te estoy amando locamente” on Wednesday 9th July, “Los Tarantos” on 30th July and “Super Mario Bros” on Wednesday 23rd July.
Tickets for all events are priced at just 3 euros and can be bought at the start of the event or at the box office of the Teatro Concha Segura between 19.30 and 21.00 on 7th, 8th, 14th, 15th and 22nd July.
So if you’re exploring the north of the Region of Murcia, with its majestic landscapes and world-famous wines, leave room to take in a little evening entertainment!
Further information is available from the tourist office of Yecla (email turismo@yecla.es) or, for more visiting information in English, go to the home page of Yecla Today.
Oficina de Turismo de Yecla
In early 2025, due to renovation work at the usual office, the service is located on the other side of the Plaza Mayor at Calle Epifanio Ibáñez nº 2 (click for map).
Yecla is a large municipality in the north of the Region of Murcia, home to just under 35,000 people, and these days is best known for its wines, which enjoy Denomination of Origin status, and its furniture production, which has its origins in the abundance of pine trees on the mountainsides and the high plateaux.
While visitors in the 21st century may be attracted primarily by wine tourism, the town (or city, as it was proclaimed in 1878) also has a wide historical, cultural and natural heritage, and an identity quite different from the coastal areas of the Region of Murcia. For this reason it is often grouped together with its neighbour and fellow wine-producing area Jumilla as part of the Altiplano area.
Yecla borders with Castilla-La Mancha and the Region of Valencia and is closer to Alicante coastal areas than much of Murcia. These visitors come to see the historic old town itself - an atmospheric and interesting place, crammed full of history - the natural beauty of Monte Arabí, with stunning views for those who enjoy the outdoors, the gastonomy and of course the wine route.
Yecla boasts cave paintings from 10,000 years ago in Monte Arabí, a Bronze Age settlement at El Arabilejo, Iberian remains in El Pulpillo and a Roman administrative centre at Los Torrejones as well as the remnants of the 11th century Moorish castle on the hill behind the town. More modern (and complete) testimony to the past are the buildings in the town centre, which include the grandiose Basílica de la Purísima, with its striking blue dome, the archaeological museum and the attractive Plaza Mayor, where the 16th century Town Hall stands alongside the Renaissance Casa de los Alarcos, the clock tower and the old grain store.
The tourist office holds a full selection of leaflets, maps, pre-planned routes, accommodation and restaurant options and information about visiting Yecla for both individuals and groups.
There is parking close to the tourist office, although those driving to Yecla for the first time are advised to park in Calle Perales.
For further information go to the home page of Yecla Today.

Tuesday to Friday 8.00 to 15.00
