This month of October José Manuel Vidal Ortuño does not continue entering the world of La Voluntad de Azorín:

For La voluntad, J. Martínez Ruiz chooses Yecla as the setting for much of the novel. This town thus becomes a literary theme, representing the vertigo of time and history, clearly Azorian themes. This is demonstrated by the symbols of the city chosen by the writer. One of them is "the white mass of the New Church, crowned by a gigantic dome with white and blue spirals."

Of another temple, the Old church, emphasizes its sturdy bell tower, where "mysterious artist of the Renaissance has sculpted in the auction, under the balustrade, wide fret of faces in which the pain expresses itself in horrid grimaces". Old Church Yecla

And many centuries ago the Cerro de los Santos goes back, in whose slope we find the distant origins of the current Yecla: "at the foot of the Arabi stretched Elo, the splendid city founded by Egyptians and Greeks". Symbols that we have inherited from Yecla and that, for this reason, we are obliged to preserve them, so that future generations can enjoy them. Monte Arabi Yecla
