This dramatized tour (in Spanish) of the old town centre of Alhama de Murcia features characters from the past such as the Marqués de los Vélez and Jaime El Conquistador (who ruled the Kingdom of Aragón for 63 years in the 13th century) explaining the importance of the town to them and what it meant to live in Alhama in the past. At the same time, the route includes various of the most important cultural and historical sites in the town, and as a fair amount of walking is required comfortable clothes and footwear are recommended.
The 90-minute tour begins at 10.30 at the tourist office of Alhama and is free of charge but prior booking is required via the tourist office (968 633512, email turismo@alhamademurcia.es), the Los Baños archaeological museum (968 630776) or online here.
