WHAT IS THERE TO DO IN MURCIA?

 

What is there to do in Murcia?

Murcia is an ancient, Mediterranean and hospitable city which was founded and fortified in 825 AD by Abderraman II with the name Mursiya in the fertile planes of the River Segura. Murcia -  a paradise of light and orange blossom - is a cheerful, outgoing city, crowned by its Cathedral, the Church of Our Father Jesus (home to the museum of the celebrated sculptor, Salzillo), the Episcopal Palace, the Convent of Santa Ana, the Church of Saint Michael, the Monastery of Santa Clara la Real, El Almudi, the Sancutary of  la Fuensanta, the Gardens of the Malecón, and the Casino. Other points of interest are the Museum of Murcia and the Hydraulic Museum, as well as the water mills of the Segura river in Murcia and the surrounding villages which make up our Region.

Murcia also enjoys a wealth of festivities: carnivals (February), Holy Week(March- April), the Spring Festivals (March/April), the Fair of Murcia (September), and Christmas (December), which, together with cinema, theatre, and music festivals, conferences, and art exhibitions make up the exciting cultural life in the city. Many of these events take place in the "Teatro Romea" and "Centro de Congresos" of the Region of Murcia while others are sponsored by the various savings banks (cajas de ahorros).

The coast and the mountains:

In our Region, you can enjoy the coast practically year-round, but above all during the Easter holidays and summer. There exists a huge variety of water activities in which you can take part including sailing, windsurfing, water-skiing, scuba diving, etc.

The average temperature during the year ranges from 12°C in winter to 25.5°C in summer. The climate is dry, hot in summer and mild in winter and Murcia is among the cities in Spain which receive the most sunshine throughout the year.

A spit of land, La Manga, runs parallel to the coast of Murcia forming a small sea of its own, known as the Mar Menor, while its other beaches are bathed by the Mediterranean. The resorts of the Mar Menor include San Javier, La Ribera, Los Alcázares, and, of course, La Manga itself. If you fancy hiking rather than swimming, we would recommend the Natural Park of Calblanque and the beautiful coves and coastal areas which surround this area.

For the nature lover, there are a number of activities in the mountains. You can enjoy the walls of the Leyva in the Sierra Espuña or the Panocha in El Valle, where you can climb, cycle, trek or simply hike.

Bars and Restaurants:

You have probably already heard of the famous Spanish "tapas." In Murcia, there are a great number of bars and squares where you can enjoy a delicious appetiser in the open air. The most well-known Murcian tapas include: pisto, zarangollo , la ensalada murciana, etc., all of which are prepared with vegetables from our abundant Murcia markets.

Some of the most popular bars are El Palomo and Los Toneles, both located in C/ Cánovas del Castillo, the Pepico del Tío Ginés in C/ las Mulas, Los Zagales in C/ Polo de Medina, El Patio in C/ Paco and La Parranda in the Plaza San Juan. At weekends, the bars serving tapas in Plaza del las Flores, la Plaza Mayor, and Alfonso X el Sabio are always full. If you want a formal meal, there exist restaurants in every part of the city where you will find top quality food at a friendly price.
