Murcia has a unique historical, artistic and cultural heritage in Spain. Proof of this is its Cathedral, an imposing building in which Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles are mixed, as well as the Romea Theatre and the Royal Casino, two examples of the 19th-century Baroque architecture that can be seen throughout the city.


In Murcia you will also find a local cuisine, full of delicious traditional dishes such as zarangollo (egg dish) and pastel de carne murciano (meatloaf). Enjoy a tasty caldero del Mar Menor (fish and rice), paparajotes (citrus pastry) and some michirones (bean stew), and don’t forget to start your meal with a marinera (tapa with tuna) overlooking the sea, all paired with a fine Jumilla wine. Your taste buds will thank you.


The beautiful city of Murcia is situated on a plain surrounded by mountains, at the foot of the River Segura; an enviable location in the Mediterranean countryside, with incomparable scenery such as the Almadenes Gorge, an imposing 150-metre ravine which can be explored by kayak. Take advantage of your visit to enjoy some rafting down the Segura River and do not miss the villages of the Ricote Valley, as well as the impressive cultural cities of Cartagena and Lorca. Of course, you should not forget to spend a day in the most curious orographic feature in the Region of Murcia: La Manga del Mar Menor (24 kilometres of land between two seas: the Mediterranean and the Mar Menor).


Get lost in charming squares and gardens, enjoy festivals bursting with tradition and history, and discover all the appeal of the Mediterranean forest in the El Valle and Carrascoy Regional Park, just a 15-minute drive from the city, with spectacular views of the Segura Valley. In Murcia, there is always something to do.


Picturesque squares
The best place to start discovering Murcia is in its squares. Each serves as a meeting place for locals and tourists alike, whether it is for an ice cream in the Plaza de Santo Domingo or to explore the old town in the Plaza de Santa Catalina, Plaza de las Flores and Plaza de San Pedro. Enjoy the Murcian tradition in all its glory.
