The Department of Culture of the Orihuela City Council has opened the registration period for the XII edition of the San Isidro Murals and Mercadearte 2026, which will take place from May 22 to 24 in the popular Orihuela neighborhood.

Those interested in creating new murals or restoring existing ones can register through the municipal website. The deadline for registration is May 18.
This initiative will once again transform the San Isidro neighborhood into a space dedicated to urban art and artistic creation, consolidating one of the most unique cultural activities in the municipality. In addition to the mural interventions, the City Council will organize a new edition of Mercadearte.

"The installation of stalls for Mercadearte will be exempt from fees, with the aim of encouraging the participation of local artisans and creators."
