Councillor for the Interior, Castilian Serafín, accompanied by the mayoress, Mónica Lorente, commemorated the 800 anniversary of the birth of Jaume I by unveiling a plaque in the Museo de la Muralla in Orihuela. I think I am right in saying that it was Jaume 1 who re-conquered Valencia for the christians by driving out the moors.
Next year there will be a cavalcade to celebrate the entrance of King Alfonso the Magnanimous (Alonso V, King of Aragon) into Orihuela.
Nobody could accuse the city of ignoring its history.
