BOOK EXPERIENCES ▸ Murcia is an ideal city to visit at any time of the year thanks to its mild climate for most of the year. With 1,200 years of history, the city’s historic center is home to major attractions such as the Cathedral of Murcia, famous for its impressive Baroque façade and magnificent bell tower—the second tallest in the country—the Royal Casino, declared a national monument and showcasing a blend of artistic styles in its majestic halls, and the Salzillo Museum, which houses the work of the brilliant Spanish Baroque religious sculptor. In the same area, you can enjoy delicious traditional tapas and appetizers on any terrace, such as those in Plaza de las Flores or Santa Catalina. Highlights include the marinera, caballitos, and zarangollo. Nearby, you’ll also find another point of interest: the Ramón Gaya Museum, dedicated to the renowned Murcian artist. You can also cross the Segura River via the historic Puente de los Peligros bridge, visit the Hydraulic Museum, or head to the nearby Verónicas Market, where the best products of the Murcian pantry are sold. Other attractions worth visiting include the Santa Clara Museum, where you can discover the origins and evolution of Murcia through findings from the Andalusian period, or the Madina Mursiya Center, which exhibits remains of ancient walls and other structures in a journey that shows what life was like in Islamic Murcia. Other notable museums include the Santa Clara Museum, MUBAM, and the Ramón Gaya Museum. In addition, Murcia offers active and nature tourism just 6 kilometers from the city center, in the El Valle and Carrascoy Mountains Regional Park, located next to the Sanctuary of La Fuensanta, which offers panoramic views of the city—an ideal spot for hiking, cycling, or climbing.EXPLORE THIS CITY▸
