Yecla launches its extraordinary Christmas Shopping Raffle 2024

The Christmas event returns to Yecla with 5,000 euros in prizes

Yecla Town Council is getting into the holiday spirit with the launch of the 10th edition of the Extraordinary Christmas shopping raffle, which was presented by the Councillor for Commerce, María Martínez, and the President of the Association of Merchants of Yecla (Asocomy), Adrián Soriano.

This exciting initiative aims to encourage residents and visitors to support local shops and businesses during the holiday season, and what better way to do so than with a chance to win some amazing prizes?

The 2024 Christmas Raffle boasts a total of 5,000 euros in prizes, distributed among 50 vouchers worth 100 euros each to be spent in stores associated with Asocomy.

Between now and the middle of January, for every purchase made in participating shops, customers will receive a ticket which will give them a chance to win one of the 50 prizes.

The draw will take place on January 18, 2025, and the lucky winners will be able to redeem their vouchers in any of the stores linked to Asocomy.

According to Adrián Soriano, President of Asocomy, the goal of this campaign is to boost shopping and give consumers the added value that local commerce provides.

By distributing these tickets, Asocomy hopes to encourage people to do their holiday shopping in Yecla's local stores, thereby supporting the local economy and promoting the unique character of the town's trade.

María Martínez, Councillor for Commerce, expressed her gratitude to Asocomy for their efforts in promoting local commerce and thanked the association for "all the work it does in favour of Yecla commerce."

She also emphasised the importance of supporting local businesses, stating that "a city without commerce has no life" and invited all residents and visitors to explore the town's shops and discover the quality and diversity they have to offer.

Oficina de Turismo de Yecla

Yecla Tourist Office Yecla is a large municipality in the north of the Region of Murcia, home to just under 35,000 people, and these days is best known for its wines, which enjoy Denomination of Origin status, and its furniture production, which has its origins in the abundance of pine trees on the mountainsides and the high plateaux.

Yecla Tourist Office While visitors in the 21st century may be attracted primarily by wine tourism, the town (or city, as it was proclaimed in 1878) also has a wide historical, cultural and natural heritage, and an identity quite different from the coastal areas of the Region of Murcia. For this reason it is often grouped together with its neighbour and fellow wine-producing area Jumilla as part of the Altiplano area.

Yecla borders with Castilla-La Mancha and the Region of Valencia and is closer to Alicante coastal areas than much of Murcia. These visitors come to see the historic old town itself - an atmospheric and interesting place, crammed full of history - the natural beauty of Monte Arabí, with stunning views for those who enjoy the outdoors, the gastonomy and of course the wine route.

Yecla Tourist Office Yecla boasts cave paintings from 10,000 years ago in Monte Arabí, a Bronze Age settlement at El Arabilejo, Iberian remains in El Pulpillo and a Roman administrative centre at Los Torrejones as well as the remnants of the 11th century Moorish castle on the hill behind the town. More modern (and complete) testimony to the past are the buildings in the town centre, which include the grandiose Basílica de la Purísima, with its striking blue dome, the archaeological museum and the attractive Plaza Mayor, where the 16th century Town Hall stands alongside the Renaissance Casa de los Alarcos, the clock tower and the old grain store.

Yecla Tourist Office The tourist office holds a full selection of leaflets, maps, pre-planned routes, accommodation and restaurant options and information about visiting Yecla for both individuals and groups.
