October 17 to 19 The Rueda Tourism Fair showcases the best of inland Murcia
19 municipalities take part in the festivities, including Yecla, Caravaca de la Cruz and Jumilla
After the success last year of the first ever Inland Tourism Fair in Murcia, going under the name "Rueda", a second edition is being held this year from October 17 to 19 in Totana. The event aims to showcase the Region's rich cultural heritage, artisan traditions, stunning natural landscapes and delicious gastronomy.
Each of the 19 participating municipalities (out of a total of 45 in the Region of Murcia) will have its own promotional space, showcasing its tourism potential through food and cooking workshops, tastings, craft workshops, raffles, outdoor activities and other experiences.
Taking pride of place at the second edition of Rueda are representatives from Abanilla, Aledo, Alguazas, Archena, Beniel, Calasparra, Caravaca de la Cruz, Cehegín, Cieza, Fortuna, Jumilla, Lorca, Lorquí, Molina de Segura, Moratalla, Mula, Puerto Lumbreras, Totana and Yeclam and various food stands are open permanently during the event timetable.
The event is part of the Region's strategy to promote inland tourism, which includes the development of exciting alternatives to the already booming sun and beach holiday trend. The goal is to reduce seasonality, boost tourist flows off season, enhance the Region's competitiveness and modernise the tourism model.
