Jumilla

The municipality stretches across 972 square kilometers of southeastern Spain, with three mountain ranges and numerous vineyards at 510 meters elevation.

Archaeological findings reveal human settlements from 450,000 years ago, followed by Roman agricultural development and Muslim occupation until the 13th century.

Local festivals celebrate wine heritage throughout August, while Holy Week processions showcase religious traditions with specific regional characteristics.

The town maintains regular markets where visitors can purchase locally produced wines, olive oils, and seasonal agricultural products from the surrounding farms.

The region contains Europe's largest collection of ungrafted vines, surviving the 19th-century phylloxera epidemic that devastated other European wine regions.
