Molina de Segura

This city is the district administrative, legal and commercial capital of the fertile mid-meadows of the Segura river. The history of Molina de Segura is closely linked to the canning industry and related sectors, all contributing to the significant economic development of this town. Numerous Iberian, Carthaginian, Roman and Arab remains reveal that Molina has always been a place of pilgrimage and crossroads between the coast and the high plains. The main Arab construction is the wall surrounding a fortress built between the 9^th and 13^th centuries.

As for leisure, there are multiple options: the highlight is the protected area of Humedal de Ajuaque y Rambla Salada, a lovely wetland and ravine; the Regional Park of Sierra de la Pila, is also very nice and a perfect place to see native species of this mountain range.

Molina de Segura is also known for its devotion to theater; in fact, it has one of the oldest theater festivals in Spain.
