One of the most unusual of the many Semana Santa celebrations in the Region of Murcia takes place every year on Easter Wednesday and was first organized in the 1980s by José Moreno Sr Moreno’s celebration consisted of a living representation in the streets of the town of the Via Crucis and when he left the village and the tradition he started died out having gained the support of the former priest in collaboration with the Town Hall of Molina and it was thus reinstated the following year Since then the event has grown to very large proportions and is now extremely popular not only among those who live in Torrealta but also in the town of Molina de Segura and throughout central Murcia As well as the traditional Stations of the Cross other scenes have been added including the triumphant arrival of Christ in Jerusalem All of these scenes are acted out at locations in and around Torrealta with the best known and most popular being the crucifixion on a hill in the outskirts which becomes Mount Calvary for the occasion At present the running order of events on the Via Crucis of Torre Alta is as follows: The Via Crucis begins on Wednesday April 16 at 23.00 in Calle La Mola and follows a route along Javier Azagra and García Lorca before proceeding to the crucifixion site The village is so small that it’s hard not to find the events of the Via Crucis once you arrive in Torrealta to which the easiest access is from the N-301 road which runs along the western edge of Molina de Segura If approaching from the south turn left at the first roundabout after reaching Molina and follow the RM-560 road for just over a kilometre Click for map location of Torrealta, Molina de Segura Sign up for the Spanish News Today Editors Roundup Weekly Bulletin and get an email with all the week’s news straight to your inbox (List price 3 months 12 Bulletins) and thank you for choosing CamposolToday.com to publicise your organisation’s info or event Camposol Today is a website set up by Murcia Today specifically for residents of the urbanisation in Southwest Murcia providing news and information on what’s happening in the local area which is the largest English-speaking expat area in the Region of Murcia When submitting text to be included on Camposol Today please abide by the following guidelines so we can upload your article as swiftly as possible: Send an email to editor@camposoltoday.com or contact@murciatoday.com Attach the information in a Word Document or Google Doc Also attach a photo to illustrate your article The seventh edition of the exhibition of Roman skylights has been open to the public since Tuesday Luz de Roma was inaugurated yesterday by the mayoress of Molina de Segura who was accompanied by the managing director of the MARQ Foundation Gloria Abellán and the curator of the exhibition The travelling exhibition Light of Rome leaves the province of Alicante for the first time to reach Molina de Segura a fact that "fills us with pride;

(Data protection) Police in Spain were concerned after they began to receive several phone calls on Sunday about a lion on the loose Officials in the Spanish town of Molina de Segura were dispatched to track down the big cat that was apparently roaming the streets in one part of town – but what they found instead has left social media users amused When cops arrived at the neighbourhood to capture the lion they were confronted by a large and oddly-shaved dog instead Amused cops took to Twitter to share a photograph of the 'lion' and talk about the incident Their pic shows the canine groomed to resemble a lion "Several notices have been received this morning alerting that a lion had been seen loose in the garden area," wrote Molina de Segura Police on the microblogging platform "We have passed the microchip reader and it has turned out to be a ..

The main fiestas in Molina are in honour of the Virgen de la Consolacion in September As in every municipality in the Region of Murcia there is a week every year in Molina de Segura when the children take a couple of days off school local businesses reduce their activity and the population takes to the streets to enjoy a celebration of their town and its traditions This Romería is known to date back at least as far as the 18th century The fiestas also include a procession from the square outside the Town Hall which culminates in a floral offering at the Iglesia de la Asunción and on the third Monday of the month the Virgen de la Consolación is returned to “her” church in another Romería These religious events are accompanied every year by a wide and varied cultural offering the Semana Santa (or Easter Week) celebrations are also a hugely important event in the annual calendar of Molina de Segura although this has not always been the case between 1964 and 1986 there were no Semana Santa processions in Molina but since then the tradition has been revived beginning on Viernes de Dolores (the Friday before Good Friday) and continuing with others on the following Saturday and Palm Sunday when the procession representing the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem starts at the church of San Vicente On Easter Wednesday there is a very unusual Vía Crucis event in the outlying district of Torrealta during the hiatus in the main events in Molina began to organize a living representation in the streets of the town of the Via Crucis When the priest left the village and the tradition he started died out but in 1997 they gained the support of the former priest and in collaboration with the Town Hall of Molina reinstated it the following year The event has now grown to very large proportions and is extremely popular not only among those who live in Torrealta but also in the town of Molina de Segura and throughout central Murcia On Maundy Thursday the schedule resumes in Molina itself with a procession in reverential silence starting at the church of San Roque and on Good Friday the Santo Entierro procession takes place Easter Sunday itself features a morning procession glorifying the Resurrection of Christ starting at the modern Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón in the north of the town Easter doesn’t quite end there for the locals of Molina as on the following Monday and Tuesday it is traditional to venture out into the countryside to enjoy a picnic featuring the “Mona de Pascua” a bun containing an entire hard-boiled egg Other annual celebrations include those of 17th January to commemorate the Feast Day of San Antón when it was a tradition in the past for locals to spend the day in the rural area of Las Salinas Here they would dip oranges into the water a ritual which was supposed to bring good luck there is a blessing of animals every year on or around the 17th January in the Plaza de la Iglesia de San Vicente Mártir as San Antón (also known as San Antonio Abad) is the patron saint of animals This is followed just five days later by the Feast Day of San Vicente Martir and since a church was dedicated to the saint this date has regained some of the importance it had in the past who is venerated as the first Christian martyr in Spain is known to date back to at least 1325 in the town and was probably brought by Christian forces from Valencia following the Reconquista in Murcia in 1243 Christmas does not pass unnoticed in Molina and there is a series of concerts and children’s activities as well as a municipal nativity scene and Santa’s grotto The Christmas holidays end with the Parade of the Three Kings through the main streets of the town during the afternoon of 5th January to coincide with the Feast Day of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles Ribera de Molina: June (Sagrado Corazón de Jesús) and the last Sunday of April Llano de Molina: September (Purísima Concepción) Torrealta: September (Nuestra

24,000 square metres of public park in the south-east of the town centre of Molina topographical and geological characteristics of the Region of Murcia are such that the landscape features numerous “ramblas” flood channels which may remain dry for years at a time and only fill with water in periods of heavy rain and there are various of these in the municipality of Molina de Segura One of these is the Rambla de los Calderones which skirts the south-eastern edge of the town and has been adapted in recent times in two ways the actual flood channel itself has been lined with concrete to ensure that it does not become cluttered with undergrowth and debris leaving it clear to perform its function during storms while on the other hand the area around it has been converted into a public park This park runs for a length of around 500 metres between Calle Mayor and Calle Gran Capitán and occupies an area of over 24,000 square metres a petanque piste and a cooking area equipped with eighteen barbecues for use by members of the public As well as the main path for use by pedestrians there is also a cycling circuit within the confines of the park but every few years torrential cloudbursts affect Molina and the streets are suddenly knee-deep in fast-flowing water as it makes its way down the hill from east to west towards the River Segura At these times the importance of the Rambla is underlined as it fills to the brim and becomes a raging torrent The Teatro Villa de Molina is a large modern theatre and auditorium located on the Avenida del Chorrico the road which leads from the

held under the name of Ciclo de Teatro Nuevo in 1970 In 1982 the name was changed to “Festival de Teatro” and it was taken over by the Town Hall since when the event has attracted well-known
