Rescue the lost time traveller by solving puzzles and finding clues in the town centre of Alhama

June 10 Free interactive tourist gymkhana for families in Alhama de Murcia During the summer of 2022 the Town Hall of Alhama de Murcia set up a new tourism gymkhana called “Rescue the Time Traveller”, encouraging visitors to explore the town, and this initiative has been maintained as part of the program for 2023.

The free, interactive activity is designed for both adults and youngsters (from 7 years old) as they join forces to piece together the fragments of a map, solving clues and puzzles in the old centre of the town. In order to complete their task they will have to visit some of the best-known sights of Alhama, collecting the clues digitally on a smartphone in a project which forms part of the “intelligent tourism” program in the town.

Please note that children must be accompanied at all times by a family member or a responsible adult.

The guided event on June 10 is in Spanish and begins at 11.00 at the tourist office, lasting approximately 90 minutes. Although the activity is free of charge prior booking is required due to the limit on group sizes.

Registration for the “Rescata al viajero del tiempo” event can be carried out at the tourist office (Plaza de la Constitución, 10, telephone 968 633512, email [email protected]) the Los Baños archaeological museum (Calle Sánchez Vidal, 5, telephone 968 630776, email [email protected]) or online here.
