The inauguration of the Jumilla–Cieza railway

Historical milestone · Jumilla, Altiplano, Murcia

Image of Jumilla, not of the place itself.

The narrow-gauge train known as el Chicharra reached Cieza in April 1921 and completed the link of the Altiplano with the Chinchilla-Cartagena line; the track, closed in 1969, served above all to carry out the comarca's wines.
