PEDRO JOSE RENGEL
"In the center of Lorca, the Alameda de las Columnas or Alameda de la Constitución begins. This is the first step toward exploring the natural area of Lorca, known as "the avenues," with albero-covered streets, lush vegetation, and trees ideal for strolling or exercising."
Paco Perán Albarracín
"Just yesterday I walked through this pedestrian area flanked by towering trees. It has views of the castle and is still a popular hangout for young people. Time has stood still here."
