Designated as an International Tourist Interest event, Holy Week in Orihuela is one of the oldest religious and cultural celebrations in the southeastern region of Spain. Easter in Orihuela is renowned not only for its monuments, landscapes, traditions, and Mediterranean light but also for its rich history and artistic qualities. Art and passion intertwine during this special week, engaging all five senses: the vibrant colors of spring, the aroma of incense, the sound of drums playing the traditional Easter hymn "Canto de la Pasión," and the taste of local delicacies. Thousands of people come together to appreciate the "Very Noble, Loyal, and Forever Faithful City of Orihuela," which serves as a symbol of Mediterranean charm, blending seamlessly with the warmth and hospitality of the local residents.

The Memorial de La Marseillaise tells the story of Marseille and the French national anthem. It is a compact museum found on Rue Thubaneau, whose staff are very friendly to visitors and eager to share the story of the quintessentially French tune and how it came into existence - paradoxically, not in the city of Marseille at all.

This impressive building, known as the Villa Méditerranée, was designed in 2013. It boasts sleek modern architecture and an impressive cantilevered section that looms over an artificial pool. Inside, you can enjoy exhibitions that cover both marine life and local history. In June 2022, a new exhibit was presented to the visitors — a replica of the famous Cosquer Cave, in an atmosphere similar to that of the original, that has been submerged since the 90s. You get to explore the 1,750-square-metre replica aboard a comfortable exploratory vehicle and learn about the Homo sapiens that lived in the cave 30,000 years ago. See the engravings, paintings, speleothems, handprints and geological features that have been reproduced for public viewing in the most realistic and scientifically rigorous manner.
