World Tourism Day In Orihuela Brings Free Organised Tours And Events

World Tourism Day on September 27 is always an important date and a good incentive to celebrate great events.

In this year’s edition, globally titled “Tourism and green investments”, the department of tourism of Orihuela city council has designed an attractive programme of routes and special visits for this important day.

The first activity within this programme will be the “Camino del Cid” exhibition.

The exhibition will run from September 25  until October 8 at the Orihuela Central Tourist Office with the following schedule. Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 2pm and from 5pm to 7pm. Sunday and Monday from 10am to 2pm.

The main events this year are the guided visits to the Diocesan Seminary of San Miguel and the Civil War Anti-Aircraft Shelter.

Going deeper into these two visits, they are new activities that have been recovered after many years of not being included in the programming, especially the visit to the Seminary. This will take place on Tuesday, September 26 at 6pm.

On Friday, September 29, and at the same time, 6pm, there will be a guided visit to the Civil War Anti-Aircraft Shelter, located on Calle Triana.
