Work begins to create rural hostel at Santa Ana del Monte in Jumilla
Rural accommodation to be provided at the popular mountain beauty spot in the Sierra de Santa Ana
Work has now officially begun to refurbish the house which stands alongside the Monastery of Santa Ana del Monte, in the mountains a few kilometres south of Jumilla, in order to provide hostel accommodation for visitors, hikers and mountain bikers enjoying the spectacular countryside.
The entire interior distribution of the house ahs been redesigned for this project and it will also be necessary to update all electrical and plumbing installations to provide heated and cooled accommodation. The kitchen and bathroom will be incorporated into the main living space and the upper terraced and exterior will also be restored, the aim being to offer rudimentary but comfortable accommodation for adventure visitors.
The project is budgeted to cost just under 76,000 euros with the works contract having been awarded to Obras y Servicios Curmarcons S.L.

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.
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.
