Before presenting the bases of the contest we must ask ourselves: Who was Azorín? Mr. José Manuel Vidal Ortuño tells us about it:

Yesterday, June 17, the artists Begoña Górriz, Noelia Lidó, Luis Soriano, Mamen Gómez, Diana Millán, Irene Ortega, Alejandro Muñoz, José Ortuño and Cristina Martínez painted live on wine barrels using different techniques; despite the heat of the morning they managed to create their works and be exposed in the afternoon in the park of the Constitution.

Something happens in Bodegas La Purísima that their wines are sneaking into the best. On this occasion the award obtained is the silver medal of the International Wine Challenge, for the wine Consentido Monastrell 2015.

This morning has been the presentation to the media of the new event planned by Yecla Wine Route for the month of June: "Envero de la Monastrell".
