Bullas is traditionally a red wine region, but its white and rosé wines are also excellent quality. The red grape variety called Monastrell is very characteristic of Murcia and is the native variety of its Designation of Origin. With compact bunches of small grapes, it has a very intense blue-violet colour. Its colour, bouquet, taste and complexity give these wines their character, as well as properties that are beneficial for our health.
“El Zacatín”, a street market selling traditional artisanal goods, is held on the first Sunday of every month. The landscapes are dotted with vineyards, such as Carrascalejo, which is ideal for hiking thanks to its “North-Western Greenway”. Also visit the natural waterfall at Usero, which is perfect for taking a dip, or Molino de Abajo with its archaeological remains of a Roman town from the 1st century BCE. You can take part in treading the grapes and sampling the cuisine of Bullas at traditional festivals, such as the Virgen del Rosario or the Fiesta del Vino, in addition to enjoying its exquisite Designation of Origin wines. For more information, enquire at the Bullas tourist office.
The Bullas Wine Route is located in the northwest of the Region of Murcia in the south-eastern Spain, between the regions of Castilla-La Mancha, Andalusia and the Valencian Community. The district of Bullas has a good road network and is easily accessible from cities such as Madrid (403 kilometres away), Valencia (305 km), Granada (252 km), Albacete (240 km), Alicante (128 km) and Murcia (53 km).
