January 26 Free tango concert in Yecla

Dúo Gil-Dibelo at the municipal auditorium in Yecla

January 26 Free tango concert in Yecla The International Chamber Music Festival in Yecla (“Festival Internacional de Música de Cámara de Yecla”, or FIMYECLA), offers a series of free high-quality small-scale concerts throughout the year, and the cycle was born out of the frustration of local music-lovers during the pandemic years, when live concerts ceased to exist in this part of northern Murcia for a time.

The second edition of the festival is being held with a series of 8 concerts during 2025, all of them taking place in the Auditorio Municipal “Juan Miguel Benedito Rodríguez” in the historic Plaza Mayor and beginning at 20.00. Admission to all events is free of charge.

The first concert in 2025 is on Sunday January 26 and features the Dúo Gil-Dibelo playing tango music, with works by the master of the genre, the Argentinian Astor Piazzolla, and other great classics from the golden age of the tango. The Duo is formed by Orlando Dibelo on bandoneón (a type of accordion typical of Argentina and Uruguay) and guitarist Mariano Gil.

Oficina de Turismo de Yecla

Yecla Tourist Office Yecla is a large municipality in the north of the Region of Murcia, home to just under 35,000 people, and these days is best known for its wines, which enjoy Denomination of Origin status, and its furniture production, which has its origins in the abundance of pine trees on the mountainsides and the high plateaux.

Yecla Tourist Office While visitors in the 21st century may be attracted primarily by wine tourism, the town (or city, as it was proclaimed in 1878) also has a wide historical, cultural and natural heritage, and an identity quite different from the coastal areas of the Region of Murcia. For this reason it is often grouped together with its neighbour and fellow wine-producing area Jumilla as part of the Altiplano area.

Yecla borders with Castilla-La Mancha and the Region of Valencia and is closer to Alicante coastal areas than much of Murcia. These visitors come to see the historic old town itself - an atmospheric and interesting place, crammed full of history - the natural beauty of Monte Arabí, with stunning views for those who enjoy the outdoors, the gastonomy and of course the wine route.

Yecla Tourist Office Yecla boasts cave paintings from 10,000 years ago in Monte Arabí, a Bronze Age settlement at El Arabilejo, Iberian remains in El Pulpillo and a Roman administrative centre at Los Torrejones as well as the remnants of the 11th century Moorish castle on the hill behind the town. More modern (and complete) testimony to the past are the buildings in the town centre, which include the grandiose Basílica de la Purísima, with its striking blue dome, the archaeological museum and the attractive Plaza Mayor, where the 16th century Town Hall stands alongside the Renaissance Casa de los Alarcos, the clock tower and the old grain store.

Yecla Tourist Office The tourist office holds a full selection of leaflets, maps, pre-planned routes, accommodation and restaurant options and information about visiting Yecla for both individuals and groups.
