January 10 Music from the cinema at an eagerly awaited concert in Yecla

The music of John Williams and Hans Zimmer at the Teatro Concha Segura in Yecla

January 10 Music from the cinema at an eagerly awaited concert in Yecla The latest concert offered by the Banda Sinfónica of the Asociación de Amigos de la Música and Cine Club Odeón in Yecla is taking place on Saturday 10th January under the title of “Cine y Música: Los 7 Magníficos” and features music from seven movie soundtracks.

Each piece of music is accompanied by image from the film in which it was first heard and the music was all composed by two of the greats of their field, John Williams and Hans Zimmer. This gives the audience to hear again the well-loved music from movies such as E.T., Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator and The Last Samurai.

This concert hopes to build on the great success of a similar event last year and tickets are on sale online here at 6 euros – any left over will be made available at the box office of the Teatro Concha Segura on Thursday and Friday evening between 19.30 and 21.00, as well as at 19.00 on the day of the concert (an hour before the curtain rises).

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 Tourist Office 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.

Yecla Tourist Office 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 Tourist Office 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.

Yecla Tourist Office 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.
