The Olula del Río Town Council is launching the «Olula Turismo» project through a MUNITIC grant of 29,971.70 euros awarded by the Regional Government of Andalusia’s Department of Tourism, Culture and Sport.
The project consists of the creation of a web page with some of the main tourist attractions of the town such as the City of Culture, the Woman of the Almanzora, the Church of San Sebastian or the Chapel of Cristo de la Buena Muerte.
These points are equipped with QR codes that lead to explanatory videos about them and that will help locals and tourists to learn a little more about each location.
On the website you can see a guide to restaurants and accommodation with which it is intended to publicise the wide range of accommodation in the town, which in recent years has been reaffirmed as a regional leisure spot that attracts residents from different municipalities.
Olula del Río is undoubtedly the cultural reference point of the Almanzora, with a museum space of the highest level with one of the largest collections of contemporary art in Andalusia. Created by Andrés García Ibáñez, it has established itself as the most significant cultural endowment of the Almanzora, one of the most representative of the Spanish Southeast and inside you can admire works by Joaquín Soroya, Francisco de Goya, Antonio López, Andrés García Ibáñez, Capuleto, Madrazo or Ignacio Zuloaga among others,
The municipality also has the Las Arrodeas- El Pinatar footpath (recently declared for sports use by the Regional Government of Andalusia) where you can enjoy the natural environment with splendid views. Another of Olullo’s attractions is the OlulArte project which enhances the value of the old part of the town as the visitor walks through its arteries.
All this comes to continue with the cultural and touristic bet on which has been working for several legislatures by a consistory that has among its objectives that the town stands out as a cultural and touristic synonym of the Almanzora.
