Explanada Barnuevo

Explanada Barnuevo, Santiago de la Ribera .

The Explanada Barnuevo is a core, central area in the Santiago de la Ribera beachfront and is used as the location for many of the open air cultural events which take place in the area throughout the year; Artisan markets, concerts, exhibitions and displays all take place in this area, and the marquee which forms the centre piece for events such as carnival, and fiestas is erected here.

Traffic driving into Santiago de la Ribera all funnels down to the beach front, arriving in front of a large open paved area, with palm tree shading, facing a statue called "En homenaje al peregrino", in homage to the pilgrim, made by contemporary Murcian sculptor, Juan José Quiros .

Looking face on at the sculpture, the distinctive arrow shape of the yacht club can be seen to the left and the area to the right, with rows of palm trees, is the Explanada Barnuevo.There is parking in the streets behind the Explanada or down in the heart of the Explanada itself.

From this central point attractive shaded paseos run off along the seafront, with plenty of cafeterías offering refreshments.

There is a cycle lane and the area is very popular with walkers and joggers.
