2-million-euro investment promised on the rural road of Sierra del Carche in Jumilla

The RM-A15 is much used by Jumilla wineries and visitors to the mountains of Sierra del Carche

2-million-euro investment promised on the rural road of Sierra del Carche in Jumilla The regional government of Murcia has announced an investment of more than 2 million euros in improvements to the RM-A15 road, which leads from Jumilla to the boundary of the Region with the province of Alicante and the town of Pinoso.

The initial work is to be carried out on the 2.8 kilometres which lie at the Jumilla end of the road, which is much used both by the wineries which are located in the foothills of the Sierra del Carche and by visitors heading out for a day in the mountains and the countryside. Many of these visitors, of course, are also visiting the wineries, where some of the best of Jumilla’s DOP wines are produced.

In addition, this first section includes a route to the junctions at kilometres 31 and 41 of the A-33 motorway, easing transport problems for the wineries.

2-million-euro investment promised on the rural road of Sierra del Carche in Jumilla As a consequence of the project this section of the road will be widened and re-surfaced, and it is expected that the works contract will be put out to tender in the near future. According to Mayoress Seve González, this is a “historical demand of the town of Jumilla”, and follows meetings with more than 50 of the landowners along the route.

Other projects are also being undertaken on Jumilla’s country roads, including the improvements on the one leading to Cuadrado (RM-A11), which were completed in 2024 at a cost of over 1.1 million euros, and the upcoming re-surfacing on the road from La Celia to the boundary with the province of Albacete (around 380,000 euros).

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.

Jumilla Tourist Office

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.
