Muchamiel is inviting residents and visitors to take a trip back in time in the month of June, with a unique theatrical experience that merges history, culture, and entertainment, all in one exciting activity. The town will be hosting a special theatrical guided tour through its most historical landmarks, and offering a fresh and immersive way to experience the town’s heritage.

This activity forms part of the town’s wider early summer tourism programme, and combines outdoor experiences with cultural and historical storytelling. It is expected to attract history buffs, curious newcomers, and even longtime residents.

A theatrical tour on a train through Muchamiel’s fascinating history

One of the main highlights of the event is the theatrical route through the town’s emblematic hermitages, where participants will get aboard a tourist train, accompanied by actors portraying characters from different periods in the town’s local history. The journey will take passengers on a trip through Muchamiel’s past life, through short scenes, anecdotes, and interactive moments that entertain audiences of all ages.

A family event that will combine education, fun, and impressive theatre performances

The theatrical tour will take place on Sunday, June 14, and will last around an hour. It will follow a circular route through the town’s historic centre, stopping at several key sites along the way. These include some recognisable Muchamiel landmarks, particularly the hermitages dedicated to Sant Antoni and El Calvari, which are deeply rooted in the municipality’s traditions and identity.

Family-friendly, the event will combine education and fun, making it an ideal plan for both locals and tourists looking to do something different. The theatre, as well as the guided tourism, will allow visitors to connect with the town’s history in a more dynamic and memorable way than a traditional tour.

How to reserve your spot for this incredible tour

Slots to ride the train are limited, so interested residents and visitors are recommended to book their place through the local tourism office, or at inscripcionesturismo@mutxamel.org, especially as Muchamiel begins to get busy ahead of peak season.

With initiatives like this, Muchamiel continues to promote experiential tourism, offering creative ways to showcase its cultural and historical heritage while encouraging visitors to explore the municipality beyond its usual routes.

As summer approaches, public spaces across El Verger are getting a seasonal refresh thanks to a group of gardening students gaining hands-on experience through a regional employment and training programme.

Students enrolled in the Gardening specialism of the Marina Alta XV Employment Workshop, run by CREAMA, have been working alongside local teams to prepare parks, gardens and municipal facilities ahead of the busy summer season. Their latest focus has been the improvement and maintenance of the landscaped areas surrounding El Verger’s municipal swimming pool, which is set to welcome residents and visitors in the coming weeks.

Practical training with a real community impact

The initiative forms part of a wider programme designed to help participants develop practical skills while contributing to the communities they serve. Rather than learning solely in a classroom environment, students are carrying out real maintenance work in public spaces, allowing them to build valuable experience that can improve their future employment prospects.

Tasks carried out in El Verger have included tidying landscaped areas, preparing green spaces for increased summer use and helping ensure municipal facilities are presented at their best ahead of the holiday season. The work has been coordinated with the town’s municipal maintenance brigade, creating an opportunity for students to learn directly from experienced professionals.

Local leaders visit the project

The students’ efforts recently received recognition during a visit from local officials, who toured the site to see the work being undertaken. Representatives from El Verger Town Hall met with participants and programme coordinators to learn more about the practical activities being carried out and the benefits the project is delivering for both the municipality and the trainees.

The visit highlighted the importance of employment workshops in providing practical pathways into work while also improving local infrastructure and public spaces.

A programme that reaches across the Marina Alta

The work in El Verger is only one part of a much larger initiative. Throughout the 12-month programme, students will travel to other municipalities across the Marina Alta to undertake maintenance and landscaping projects, broadening their experience across different environments and public spaces.

The project is supported through funding from the Valencian employment and training service LABORA and aims to strengthen employability while helping local councils maintain attractive, welcoming public areas.

For El Verger, the timing is ideal. With summer visitors expected and outdoor spaces playing a key role in community life, the students’ work is helping ensure the town’s parks, gardens and recreational areas are ready for the season ahead, while also providing a valuable stepping stone into the green jobs sector for the next generation of horticultural professionals.

The municipality of Javea has transformed one of its most historic streets into an open-air gallery over the summer, with the arrival of “Allò que torna a nàixer,” or “That Which is Reborn,” an exhibition of urban art that blends both creativity and environmental awareness. The exhibition, linked to Environment Week, was set up during the first days of June and will run through September 2026 on the Carrer Major, inviting residents and visitors to experience thought-provoking art, themed around sustainability.

Talented local artists, bringing new life to old materials using only their creativity

The project brings together works by artists Anna Perles, Fina Gilabert Carrió, Jeanne M. Connolly, Mari Marí and Pepa Espasa, each contributing unique pieces created from recycled and repurposed materials. Everyday objects including bottles, fishing nets and discarded fabrics are reimagined and transformed into striking installations that line the street, turning these items into meaningful works of art.

Overall, the exhibition is a think piece on consumption, waste, and the lifecycle of the average, everyday material. The art installations, by giving a second life to these objects that may otherwise be simply thrown away, highlight the potential for renewal through creativity and imagination.

Sparking a conversation about giving a new use for old objects

This urban art installation is designed not only to make the Carrer Major in Javea more beautiful, but also to spark conversation about sustainability and environmental responsibility. Visitors strolling through the art exhibition may find themselves considering how their everyday habits could affect the planet.

The “Allò que torna a nàixer” exhibition was organised in collaboration with the Javea Town Hall, the Generalitat Valenciana, AFIC, and Històrica Xàbia, and forms part of a broader programme that brings environmental awareness to public spaces. This programme integrates thoughtful and creative art into daily life, seeking to engage a wide audience and inspire more sustainability within the local community.

With its combination of artistic expression and ecological messaging, “Allò que torna a nàixer,” taking place on one of the municipality’s most famed streets, promises to be a standout cultural event in Javea this summer.
