The proposals, which are aimed at kindergarten, primary, secondary and high school education, have the objective that the schoolchildren of the region and also of neighboring provinces enjoy, among others, the castle, the archaeological site of 'Los Cipreses', as well as of some of our most emblematic monuments.
The Councilor for Tourism of the City of Lorca, Francisco Morales, has reported on the new schedule of visits and activities offered in our city for schoolchildren during the 2019-2020 academic year.
The Councilor for Tourism has indicated that "with the arrival of the new school year from the Department of Tourism, the months of September and October are used to visit the educational centers and offer them the novelties in school visits that have been prepared this year with the objective that the students know the history and heritage of the city of Lorca with the star product: the Castle ".
Morales has detailed that "this year, in addition to the personal visits of Tourism staff to schools, mailings, newsletter by mail and promotion on social networks are made so that the dissemination of school visits reaches the largest number of centers of the Region and the neighboring regions ", and stressed that" more than 10,000 schoolchildren visit us every year, choosing mostly the visit to the castle. "
The mayor has specified that "these school visits can be made to the city, accompanied by an official guide who will teach students the most emblematic monuments of Lorca adapting the visit to the age of the children. There are also visits to the archaeological site of 'Los Cypresses' with specialized guides and workshops that will bring students closer to the lifestyles of 4000 years ago. "
The Castle is one of the most attractive places for schoolchildren since in it they can learn about the ways of life of the Middle Ages and tour its towers, reservoirs and walls accompanied by medieval characters that make the visit fun and fun.
In addition, this year visits can also be made with a historical recreation and a workshop so that students can reinforce the knowledge acquired in the classroom.
All visits are adapted to the children's school level so that they can fully enjoy this experience.
As thematic visits, this year, in the Castle one has been prepared to learn about the conquest of Lorca that will take place on the dates near the festival of the Patron Saint, San Clemente and another on the Wednesday of November that will feature an exhibition of Falconry to know the art of medieval hunting with raptors.
The main novelty for this year is the visit aimed at ESO and Baccalaureate students, which consists of a literary-cultural route called 'The Nasrid Border' and which is based on the novel "The Abyss in the Border."
On this route, schoolchildren will be accompanied by a guide and by the author of the novel, Francisco José Motos, with whom they will know how life was in one of the most enigmatic borders that humanity has known.
