February 4 and 5 Peter Pan the Musical in Lorca
The internationally acclaimed musical debuts in the Region of Murcia at the Auditorio Margarita Lozano in Lorca
The new Margarita Lozano auditorium in Lorca is now up and running and the first major event at the venue in 2023 consists of four performances of Peter Pan the Musical on February 4 and 5.
Two shows are being staged on each of the two dates, starting at 17.00 and 20.00, bringing to Lorca a production which has already enjoyed international success in the UK, Portugal, Mexico, Uruguay and Colombia among others, attracting a total audience worldwide of over 5 million. This is the first time it has been performed in the Region of Murcia, and among the special technology employed are six “flying machines” imported from the USA.
Tickets are priced at 35 and 40 euros and can be purchased online here as well as at the box office of the Teatro Guerra (open on weekday mornings from 11.00 to 14.00 and from Monday to Thursday between 18.00 and 20.00).

The rich and extensive history of Lorca has left a legacy of archaeological sites, and historic buildings, around which the modern City has built its tourism industry. Amongst these are Lorca Castle, the Jewish Quarter of the castle and Synagogue, 
Plaza de España, Colegiata de San Patricio, Museo de Arqueologico Municipal, Iglesia de San Francisco, Casa Huerto Ruano, Palacio de Guevara, Iglesia de San Mateo, Pósito de los Panaderos, Convento Virgen de las Huertas, Antiguo Convento de la Merced, Iglesia del Carmen and the Teatro Guerra.
Unfortunately Lorca has also been prone to natural disaster, suffering a Gota Fría on September 28th 2012, as well as an earthquake which measured 5.3 on the Richter scale on 11th May 2011 and claimed 9 lives. Since this earthquake the city has been rebuilding, winning recognition for its Lorca, Open for Restoration initiative, which used the restoration of the city as a tourist attraction whilst it rebuilt its historical buildings, some of which are currently still not open.
The tourist office itself has temporarily relocated until the renovations are completed and is inisde the Antiguo 
Convento de la Merced on the outskirts of the city beside the river where there is ample parking (paid parking).
Lorca also has an area of coastline incorporating the Parque Regional de Cabo Cope - Puntas de Calnegre, in the Sierra de Almenara, which includes the beaches of, Puntas de Calnegre, Baño de las Mujeres, San 
Pedro, El Siscal, Cala Honda, Cuartel del Ciscar, Junquera, Cala de la Gruta, Cala Leña, Los Hierros, Cala Blanca and Playa Larga, although many are accessible only through agricultural exploitations.
However, in spite of its many attractions, the name of Lorca is synonymous with Easter, (Semana Santa) its biblical parades of International Tourist Interest status and famous throughout Spain. The week includes a 
series of parades in which the whites (Paso Blanco) and blues (Paso Azúl) try to outdo each other with the magnificence of their embroideries and the skill and daring of their horsemen.
Lorca also has a Parador hotel, located within the complex of its historic castle.
