Music collectors will have a new event to explore in Orihuela when the city’s first Record Fair takes over Auditorio La Lonja on November 7 and 8. Specialist sellers will offer everything from vinyl and CDs to cassettes and memorabilia, while live DJ sessions and displays exploring the history of recorded music will add to the weekend.

First Record Fair comes to Orihuela

Orihuela will celebrate its first Record Fair on November 7 and 8, bringing specialist sellers, collectors and music lovers together at Auditorio La Lonja.

The fair will run from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and from 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM on both days, with stalls located inside and outside the venue.

Visitors can browse vinyl records, CDs and cassettes spanning rock, pop, indie, punk, soul, funk, jazz, blues, electronic, hip-hop, metal, reggae and Spanish music.

Rare records and memorabilia go on sale

LPs, singles, maxi-singles, EPs, reissues, discontinued releases, second-hand records and special editions will be available, alongside posters and other music memorabilia.

The range is designed to appeal to established collectors as well as visitors looking to rediscover favourite albums or explore different styles and formats.

With specialist sellers gathered in one location, the event will offer plenty to browse across both days.

Live vinyl sessions add to weekend

Live vinyl sessions will add to the weekend. Vanessa Beegirl opens the programme at midday on Saturday, followed by Don Gonzalo of Granada’s Discos Bora Bora at 6:30 PM.

Pana Pinchadiscos, owner of Orihuela’s La Gramola, takes over at midday on Sunday.

The sessions will provide a musical backdrop to the fair while keeping vinyl at the heart of the event.

Fair explores history of recorded music

The fair will also explore the history of recorded music, including the evolution of different formats, how records were produced and the importance of album covers, photography and graphic design.

This wider focus will give visitors an opportunity to look beyond the records themselves and explore how the presentation and production of music have changed over the years.

Local food specialist La Alacena de la Vega will have a stall throughout Saturday and on Sunday morning, offering traditional products from the Vega Baja.

Runners and walkers will take to the streets of Los Montesinos on Sunday, November 22, for a sporting event carrying an important message. The municipality’s 15th 5K, 10K and Solidarity Walk will combine races for different abilities with a campaign against gender-based violence, while children’s events and the traditional giant tortilla will add to the community atmosphere.

Runners can choose 5K or 10K

Starting at 10:00 AM, the event will offer a 5km race over one circuit, a 10km race covering two laps and a 5km solidarity walk for those who prefer to take part at a gentler pace.

Free children’s races will follow the 10km event, giving younger participants the chance to join the day’s activities.

The start and finish line will be in Plaza del Ayuntamiento on Avenida de la Marquesa, placing the centre of Los Montesinos at the heart of the event.

Participants will receive a technical T-shirt and Caja Rural backpack, with refreshments available after finishing.

One of the event’s more unusual traditions will also return, with a giant tortilla prepared for participants after the races.

The combination of competitive races, the solidarity walk and children’s events means people of different ages and fitness levels will be able to get involved during the morning.
