Jumilla is located in the province of Murcia. The town has over 26,000 inhabitants and has some stunning views across the valleys.
The possibilities offered by this region are plentiful. One has the option of visiting the archaeological sites from the Bronze and Middle Ages, and Roman times, as well as an interesting collection of Iberian artefacts.
The famous Jumilla castle goes back to the Bronze age and each subsequent civilization has added to it. In the Iron Age a great-fortified town was established. Later the Roman legions arrived and added fortifications to the hill, constructing part of the wall that is conserved nowadays.
In April of 713AD Arab troops invaded the territories of Jumilla in their attempt to occupy the Iberian Peninsula and begin the construction of a stronghold on the old Roman ruins. These occupiers stayed in Jumilla for five centuries, until in 1241 it was conquered by the troops of San Fernando and was joined for the first time to the crown of Castile
Within Jumilla there are plans to build a golf course as well as many new properties to attract further Europeans into the area. From Jumilla the coast can be reached in around 50 minutes and the nearest airport (currently Alicante) can be reached in under an hour.
