Discover Murcia - Totana
|
Under the outcrops of Sierra Espuña the ancient Deitana
Urbs is a welcoming town famous for its pottery.
Of interest is the church of Santiago, built in 1553 with a
plateresque façade and renaissance-style altarpiece. Just across the
road is the 17th-century Juan de Uteza fountain built in black and
pink jasper. Seven kilometres away on a winding road which takes the
visitor through lush orchards, palm groves and pine woods dotted
with old country mansions is the Ermita de la Santa, dedicated to St.
Eulalia. The building style is Tuscan and is home to one of the
finest Mudéjar craft centres of the region.
Further inland is the Sierra Espuña Natural Park, the
region´s lung so to speak, with deep pine- and oak-forested
valleys cutting between the rugged peaks of Sierra Espuña. Near the
summit are the ruins of curious circular 16th-century constructions
known as ´pozos de la nieve´ or snow cellars where
snow was gathered and stored before being taken on horseback for use
in the nearby towns. |
