Places to see in ( Murcia - Spain ) Castle of Lorca
Places to see in ( Murcia - Spain ) Castle of Lorca
Lorca Castle (Spanish: Castillo de Lorca) in Lorca, Murcia, Spain, is a fortress of medieval origin constructed between the 9th and 15th centuries. It consists of a series of defensive structures that, during the Middle Ages, made the town and the fortress an impregnable point in the southeast part of the Iberian Peninsula. Lorca Castle was a key strategic point of contention between Christians and Muslims during the Reconquista. It is listed as a Site of Cultural Interest. It is 640 m long and 120 m wide, and one of the largest castles in Spain.
Archaeological excavations have revealed that the site of the castle has been inhabited since Neolithic times. There were archaeological excavations conducted between 1999 and 2011, in conjunction with other excavations conducted in the centre of the town of Lorca. The excavations revealed the existence of an Argaric town that extended from the castle to the actual site of the current town. The excavations revealed funerary sites, homes, and a wall.
It has not been determined exactly when a castle or fortress was first built on the hill. The first written documentation referring to a castle at Lorca is of Muslim origin, which in the 9th century, indicates that the city of Lurqa was an important town in the area ruled by Theudimer (Tudmir), who ruled seven cities in southeastern Spain, mentioned in the Treaty of Orihuela that was preserved by the Andalusian historian Ibn Adarí in the thirteenth century: Orihuela, Valentila (possibly an equivalent for Valencia), Alicante, Mula, Bigastro, Eyya (probably Ojós), and Lorca.
During Muslim rule, Lorca Castle was an impregnable fortress and its interior was divided into two sections by the Espaldón Wall. In the western part, there was an area used to protect livestock and grain in times of danger. The eastern part had a neighbourhood called the barrio de Alcalá.
Lorca was conquered by the Castilian Infante Don Alfonso, the future Alfonso X, in 1244, and the fortress became a key defensive point against the Kingdom of Granada. For 250 years, Lorca Castle was a watchpoint on the border between the Christian kingdom of Murcia and the Muslim state of Granada.
Lorca Taller del Tiempo (“Lorca Time Workshop”) is a company that uses the castle as a theme park for medieval re-enactments and includes a touristic train that travels throughout the city, departing from the Visitor Centre (formerly the Convent of La Merced).

Convoy to Murcia - Spain 4K Travel Channel
A festival like El Entierro de la Sardina, the burial of the sardine, is not only a feast for the eyes and a pleasure. It also costs a lot of money. Thus, the city of Murcia also tries to attract sponsors. Also, a large number of volunteers work on the design of the event.
So it is not surprising that a photo session was agreed with the main sponsors.
Our host Daniel Robles took us to the Fábrica de Cerveza Estrella de Levante, the famous brewery on the outskirts of Murcia, the location of the first appointment. The second appointment is scheduled at Mercedes Benz Dimovil.
Here we meet the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Sardinera Association, the Chairman by Seniority, some of the Directors, the Doña Sardina, the mayor of San Pedro del Pinatar with a counselor, the marketing responsible of the brewery Estrella, and the Mercedes Benz representative in Murcia.
After a car convoy of brand-new Mercedes Benz and three police motorcycles, as accompanying vehicles, arrived for the convoy, the sponsors and the persons responsible for the festival took the first photos.
Afterward, the convoy leads to the Mercedes Benz Dimovil branch, for another photo shooting. The atmosphere was relaxed and it was a lot of fun. A series of gimmicks were distributed. Everything that shone and flashed was in high demand. Alfonso Tormo Albadalejo had glasses with a frame that changed their color. Of course, these glasses attracted the admiration of everyone.
Then the convoy moved to the city center. The accompanying police motorcycles kept the road free and blocked traffic from the side streets.
We were fortunate enough to be allowed to ride in a convertible so that we had free views on all sides while filming.
When we got to the Av. de la Constitución and the Gran Via del Escultor Francisco Salzillo and approached the Plaza Martínez Tornel, the crowds along the roads became increasingly dense. People were waiting for the arrival of the sardine in Murcia and the first parade.

Ein Fest wie “El Entierro de la Sardina“ (Das Begräbnis der Sardine) ist nicht nur ein Augenschmaus und eine Freude, sondern es kostet auch eine Menge Geld. Deshalb versucht die Stadt Murcia auch Sponsoren zu gewinnen. Daneben arbeiten ein Vielzahl freiwilliger Mitarbeiter an der Gestaltung der Feierlichkeiten.
So ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass mit den Hauptsponsoren ein Fototermin vereinbart wurde.
Mit unserem Gastgeber Daniel Robles, fuhren wir zur Fábrica de Cerveza Estrella de Levante, der bekannten Brauerei am Rande von Murcia. Hier war der erste Termin anberaumt. Der zweite Termin erfolgte dann bei Mercedes Benz Dimovil.
Neben dem Präsidenten des Verwaltungsrats der Sardinera Association, dem Alterspräsidenten, einigen Verwaltungsratsmitgliedern und der Doña Sardina sowie der Bürgermeisterin von San Pedro del Pinatar mit einer Stadträtin, waren der Marketingchef der Brauerei Estrella und der Mercedes Benz Repräsentant in Murcia anwesend.
Nachdem ein Wagenkonvoi funkelnagelneuer Mercedes Benz und drei Polizeimotorräder als Begleitfahrzeuge für die Kolonne vorgefahren waren, nahmen die Sponsoren und die Verantwortlichen für das Fest Aufstellung für einige Fotos.
Im Anschluss daran führt der Konvoi in die Mercedes Benz Dimovil Niederlassung, zum nächsten Fotoshooting. Die Atmosphäre war gelöst und es wurde mancher Spaß gemacht. Eine Reihe von Gimmicks wurden verteilt. Alles was leuchtete und blinkte stand hoch im Kurs. Alfonso Tormo Albadalejo hatte eine Brille, die ihre Farbe per Fernsteuerung änderte. Diese Brille zog natürlich die Bewunderung aller auf sich.
Dann fuhr der Konvoy in Richtung Stadtzentrum. Die begleitenden Polizeimotorräder hielten die Straße frei und sperrten den Verkehr aus den Seitenstraßen.
Wir hatten das Glück in einem Cabrio mitfahren zu dürfen, so dass wir beim Filmen freie Aussicht nach allen Seiten hatten.
Als wir in die Av. de la Constitución und die Gran Vía del Escultor Francisco Salzillo einbogen und uns der Plaza Martínez Tornel näherten, wurde die Menschenmenge an den Straßenrändern immer dichter. Die Menschen warteten auf die Ankunft der Sardine in Murcia und die erste Parade.
