Murcia travel Guide

The city of Murcia lies in South Eastern Spain, between the regions of Andalusia and Valencia.

For a history buff or just plain curious, Murcia is a treasure trove. Having been ruled by Carthaginians, Romans and Moors down the ages, this city has a remarkable collection of historic buildings. You will find one historic gem after another at literally every turn in this incredible city.

Murcia’s port was founded by the Carthaginians, and you can find relics of pre-Roman and Roman times in its rich museum. Ancient baroque edifices jostle with Roman churches and gothic buildings. The central cathedral, built in the 14^th century, features almost two dozen impressive chapels. A range of churches display diverse architectural designs from the 14^th to the 18^th centuries.

Visitors looking for some sun and sea will head for the nearby coastal resort of Alicante. The Murcia region boasts a coastline that runs for 250 kilometres. The rugged mountains, the vast plains and lush fields make for a diversity of scenery. The countryside is ideal for hiking, biking and nature watching.

One of the impressive sights to visit is the Mar Menor, a natural salt water lagoon separated from the Mediterranean by a strip of land called La Manga. Rich in natural salts and minerals, these waters are deemed to have a therapeutic effect on chronic conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism. This has given rise to many health spas in the region that practice thalassotherapy, or treatment by sea water.

Murcia also knows when to hang loose and take it easy. A number of fiestas mark its calendar, each with its own colourful pageantry and spectacle. Sports lovers looking for a good game of golf in the sun will not be disappointed either. Murcia has a championship golf course at the La Manga Club Resort that is sure to please any enthusiast.

Travellers can pick up a rental car from the terminal itself to ease their travels around the region, which is full of many delights. There are several auto rental agencies located here, including Europa Goldcar and Sol-Mar.
