Tourist information at the Ayuntamiento de Ricote: routes, monuments and the valley's calendar.

In Ricote, tourist information is provided at the Ayuntamiento (town hall) itself, at calle San Francisco, 7. The Ricote Valley tourist consortium lists it as an information point, and from there the Ayuntamiento looks after visitors and organises guided visits of the village and its orchards.
Contact and opening hours
Phone: 968 69 70 63. Email: info@ricote.es. Neither the Ayuntamiento nor the consortium publishes specific opening hours for tourist enquiries: call before you go, especially if you want a guided visit or are going at the weekend.
Guided visits
The Ayuntamiento provides visitors with cultural guides who show the Ricote orchards, the monuments, the historic sites and the old town. The municipal website does not publish times, prices or a meeting point, so visits are arranged by phone or email.
Leaflets and routes
On its website, the Ayuntamiento gathers leaflets to download: a short monuments guide in Spanish, English, French and German, a monuments map and a shopping map of Ricote, a street directory, the Ricote Valley tourist map and route leaflets such as the Ruta de la Huerta de Ricote, the Senda de los Moriscos or the Collado de la Madera path. For those who walk with GPS, it links routes on Wikiloc: a walk around Ricote, the historic route, the one past the country chapels, the climb to the sierra's summits and a route beside the River Segura from Ricote to Murcia.
What to see in Ricote
The consortium highlights the palacete de los Llamas, the casa de la Encomienda, the church of San Sebastián, the Centro de Interpretación Al-Ricotí and the Olivera Gorda, an olive tree about 1,400 years old declared a historic tree. As viewpoints it names La Calera, Fuente Buena, the Estrecho del Solvente and the Cabecico de la Doctrina. All of this can be seen on the walk around the old town of Ricote. Also ask about the dates of the orange blossom season, in spring, and about the Festival Murmullo.
