In 2010 Orihuela will become the capital of poetry with the celebration of the centenary of its most illustrious son: Miguel Hernandez.

Passionate about the Poet describes a way of life, a way of feeling. It’s the grateful memory of the city towards the figure of the poet, a socio-cultural phenomenon that has marked its identity forever.

Orihuela 2010, Hernandez Year

During the celebration of the Hernandez Year, Orihuela will live and breathe poetry in every corner. Places impregnated with the poet’s essence which once inspired his earliest poems.

Spaces full of meaning that take us back to his most memorable experiences, his humble childhood, his first contacts with literature, his uncertain future as a goat shepherd, his literary meetings with Ramon Sije, his meetings with his first love and later his arrest, that would result in his prison sentence.

Summing up, the symbolic locations that will enable us to re-live in our own flesh the first XXX in the poet’s life linked to the city of Orihuela.
