The winery
Silvano Garcia is one of the few Bodegas (wineries) still remaining within the Jumilla city limits.
These barrel stacks below are a reminder of the kind of business most of the local Bodegas use to do: sell cheap wine in bulk (by the litter).
Nowadays the region focuses more in quality wine and modernized all the production line.
