What to see in the Region of Murcia?

Ricote

Valle de Ricote

If there is one place where you can still feel the

sensitivity of Arab heritage and last Moorish

redoubt, Valle de Ricote. The municipalities of

Abarán, Archena, Blanca, Cieza, Ojós, Ricote, Ulea

and Villanueva del Segura take us to an idyllic

world.

Ricote still maintains a rich gastronomic tradition,
with the local wine as the protagonist. Blanca has

retained its legacy as a producer of esparto grass.

In Abarán, visitors can follow a route to four of the

numerous waterwheels or “ñoras”, as these devices

are known locally, whose function is to transport

water from the river to irrigate the most distant

fertile plains, although only some of them are still
in use today.
