Yecla is a town with a singular spirit, due mainly to its enclave situation, and is the living image of #39;Castilian#39; Murcia, the area of transition between the coastal zone and the plains of La Mancha. Preceded by the fame of its inhabitants, it is naturally a town of enormous character which has impressed such writers as Azoriacute;n or Piacute;o Baroja. The town is watched over by the Castle and the Sanctuary of La Puriacute;sima, which locals troop up to every 7th December #39;the day of the Alborada#39; firing volleys of gunpowder with their ancient harquebuses.
Yecla has some rather unique sights, such as the Church of La Puriacute;sima or the Plaza Mayor; others of great beauty, like the Church of El Salvador, the Marketplace and the Clock Tower.
This region offers a number of hiking, cycling and potholing alternatives. Take a bike along the track that leads to Monte Arabiacute; (a mountain propitious for fables and legends) to see the Neolithic rock paintings that decorate the caves of the Canto de la Visera and Mediodiacute;a. A long-distance hiking trail (the GR7), which comes down from the North of Spain to the Levant, passes through the region.
Aside from these attractions, Yecla has a very intense economic activity, based mainly on the manufacture of furniture, which is the object of an important world-famous fair. Also of note are the local wines, which have their own Denominacioacute;n de Origen and have won numerous awards in competitions both in Spain and abroad.
