Jumilla opens long-awaited caravan parking area

The new site includes water, electricity and essential services in place and 24-hour access

Jumilla has officially opened its new caravan parking area, responding to the steady rise in caravan travel across the Region.

Although the site itself has been ready for some time, it could not open until the proper rules and regulations were in place. According to the Town Hall, the delay was not due to the construction, but the amount of administrative work needed to make sure everything could run legally and safely.

Jumilla opens long-awaited caravan parking area Tourism councillor Asunción Navarro said the site had no usage rules or fee structure, which meant it could not open to the public. Over the past few months, the council has worked through the full legal process, including drafting the regulations, opening them up to public feedback and getting final approval.

Basically, the project was already in place, but it could not open without the required paperwork.
During this time, the council also looked at ways to improve the service. This included options like video surveillance, access control and updated payment systems for water and electricity to make things easier for visitors.

Jumilla opens long-awaited caravan parking area The new caravan parking area has 11 spaces and includes drinking water, electricity, lighting and a dedicated waste disposal point. It is accessible for people with reduced mobility, open 24 hours a day and stays are limited to 72 hours. It will be free to use for the first few months.

The hope is that more caravan travellers will stop in Jumilla and spend time in the area, enjoying its wineries, countryside, and other cultural spots.

It is a fairly simple addition, but one that could bring more visitors into the area throughout the year.

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.

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.
