The Huercal-Overa City Council has revealed its line-up of spring activities, offering 48 events in sports, youth, and tourism.

This season’s program includes the lively Spring Colour Fest set for April 20, featuring a fun and colourful race accompanied by DJs for an enjoyable afternoon. Another highlight is the ‘Captain Tomás de Morata Challenge’ on May 5, named after the historical figure who famously reclaimed the Overa Tower during Muslim rule, as depicted on the municipality’s coat of arms. This charity challenge will include running, hiking, and adapted sports.
