A little background
orca is the "City of the Sun," one of the historic cities of southeastern Spain, boasting a remarkable architectural heritage highlighted by the castle fortress and the Baroque churches of the old town. Its commercial tradition is long-standing: Lorca has been a key commercial hub in the Guadalentín Valley since medieval times and has retained that status to this day. The current weekly street market is regulated by the Lorca City Council through a specific ordinance governing non-permanent sales, with permits granted through a competitive bidding process. Following the 2011 earthquakes, the reconstruction of the historic center also consolidated the spaces designated for street vendors.
