Murcia has lived a week marked by culture and leisure.
The municipality has enjoyed for 7 days a complete offer for all ages that has filled the streets and squares of neighbors and visitors who have not wanted to miss the opportunity to know the city, its surroundings and its rich offer.
Thus, the hotel occupancy rate for the week from May 1 to 7 exceeded by more than 8 points the data of the same week of the previous year.
A consolidation of tourism of the municipality that continues to grow month by month as one of the fundamental pillars for the economy of Murcia.
The celebration of the Festival WAM Estrella de Levante, with 56,000 attendees to all organized activities and concerts, has been a rebound from which have benefited especially the hotels and tourist establishments, bars and restaurants or the taxi services of the municipality and its districts.
The first edition of the Festival, which has already begun to prepare the event for 2018, has exceeded its expectations with 46,000 attendees at the Fica venue who could enjoy the music of groups such as Future Islands, Fangoria, Editors, The Magicians, Varry Brava, The Sounds, Orbital or White Lies.
Security and cleaning
For this event the City of Murcia has provided security and cleaning services.
In matters of security, it is important to point out that it is very important that the news is that there is no news.
During the past week there were no notable incidents.
Normal has reigned thanks to the special device formed by Local Police, Civil Protection and Firemen and composed of more than 100 personnel.
The great novelty this year is the creation of a portal in which are suspended all the lost effects for their owners to recover.
We speak of 9 portfolios, 10 dnis, 5 mobiles, 2 driving licenses, 14 personalized documents, a sunglasses, as well as other effects of lesser value.
In total more than 100 objects that can be checked in the web objectsperdidos.ayto-murcia.es.
In terms of cleanliness, 150 professionals and operators have allowed normality to be restored in each of the spaces, not only in the Fica venue, but in all the places where concerts were held in the city, in a very few hours.
A work that has been especially noticed in the neighborhoods of Infante and Vistabella for the convenience of all its neighbors.
Quick and effective actions throughout the municipality.
Other activities
But in addition to this appointment, there have been many that have completed the agenda these days.
On Saturday 6th the city was filled with music thanks to ll III International Clamo Piano Competition Region of Murcia 2017, which was held in conjunction with the artistic event 'Pianos en la Calle'.
The squares and streets of Murcia hosted pianists from each of the 16 countries that played musical pieces in the Plaza del Romea, Santo Domingo, Plaza del Cardenal Belluga, Santa Eulalia, River Mills or the Wall of Veronicas.
A day in which any amateur person could interpret their pieces in the 6 pianos installed in these beautiful places of the municipality, that were filled of people during the more than twelve hours of uninterrupted music.
AND
On Sunday, in addition, the celebration of Europe Day was commemorated with the first appointment of 'Europa Plaza', an innovative event that sought to unite the culture and traditions of Murcia with the old continent, offering a proposal of family leisure in the center of Murcia.
That is why the Plaza de Europa became a meeting point for the population, who could enjoy traditional, commercial and cultural traditions.
All this in the Barrio de Santa Eulalia, integrated within the urban DNA project for the rehabilitation and dynamization of this historical point.
The space counted on twelve booths for the diffusion and information of the different businesses of the surroundings, who presented their proposals to the visitors.
Illustrations of a pen, music, products for newborns, silk products or ecological soaps, as well as handbags made from recycled paper or ethnic fashion were offered.
Other initiatives such as the Conference on Social Inclusion with the presence of assistants from all over Spain, as well as from countries in Europe or South America or the Melendi concert held in the Artillery Barracks have been added to this success.
This way, once again, fulfills the objective of the City of Murcia to offer its citizens cultural activities in a continuous way accessible to all public and free in many of their cases.
