Murcia
The perfect place to gain a real insight to everyday Spanish life, Murcia, the capital city of the region, is blessed with a rich legacy of art and contrasting cultures. Carthaginians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and Moors have all left their mark on the stunning local scenery. The city's cathedral with stunning Baroque facade presiding over the Cardenal Belluga Square is well worth a visit.
Founded in around 831 AD by the moors in the centre of the River Segura Valley, the importance of the city over the years can be seen in the many beautiful cathedrals, palaces and other public buildings around its many narrow streets.
As well as great shopping, food lovers will enjoy the huge selection of tapas bars to be found in Murcia’s sleepy squares as well as the city’s more formal restaurants.
