The Councilor for Tourism, Gonzalo Montoya, presents the tourist routes of the month of June, with activities that are held for the first time. Days such as World Public Knitting Day are commemorated, and workshops are offered that include the creation of sun creams, and routes on dragon legends and anniversaries.

Starting with the novelties of the month of June, the activity of June 8 in the Plaza del Carmen, in collaboration with the Association of Orihuela "Entre Lazadas Tejedoras Solidarias" stands out. This event will have the active participation of the public, who will be able to knit live together with the association and enjoy several surprises on the occasion of World Knitting in Public Day.

Continuing with the program of innovative activities, on Sunday, June 9 at 10:30 a.m., a workshop on making sunscreen will be held at the MUDIC (Didactic and Interactive Science Museum). In addition, on Saturday 29 June, the dramatised route "Orihuela, La Reconquista" will take place, which commemorates the 50th anniversary of the festivities of the Reconquest of Moors and Christians of Orihuela.

Continuing with the dramatised routes, on Saturday, June 22, the route "The Legend of the Dragon" will be carried out for the first time. And, on June 15, "The Minstrel and the Stories of his Home" that will take place through the streets of the historic center of Orihuela, where children will be able to sing, play and interact with the characters.

In addition, in this month, we find the "Summer Solstice" route on Friday 21st, starting in the Plaza del Carmen at 7:00 p.m. It is a unique phenomenon, which occurs once a year in the parish church of Santiago Apóstol.

On Saturday, June 1, the successful route "Discovering the Rabalochhe District" will be repeated, which seeks to revalue the monumental complex of this area. Visits include the Church of Santiago, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Monserrate, the Museum of the Reconquest, and historical sites such as the Plaza de Capuchinos and the Torre de Embergoñes.

The poet Miguel Hernández will be the protagonist on Sunday, June 2, with a route that merges his figure with the Palm Grove. Poems related to the orchard and palm grove will be recited, highlighting Miguel Hernández's connection with nature in his early years as a poet.

In June, we continued with the solidarity of the tourist routes, this time for the benefit of ASOKA. Participants are invited to donate products for the benefit of the Orihuela animal shelter.
