Beyond Good Weather and Beaches

DESTINATIONS IN THE REGION OF MURCIA

REGION OF MURCIA

The Region of Murcia is much more than just good weather and beaches, although it certainly boasts abundant sunshine and beautiful coastlines.

Murcia represents a longstanding agricultural tradition, with a rich history that positioned it as a frontier land between the kingdoms of Castile, Aragon, and Granada. The region exudes extraordinary sensitivity, evident in its diverse and attractive museums.

The Region of Murcia hosts well-known Holy Week celebrations such as the Salzillo processions in Murcia and the spectacular parades in Lorca and Cartagena. It is also a land that celebrates its own Holy Year dedicated to the devotion of the Vera Cruz in Caravaca. Moreover, it is a region of mines and beaches.

In this land, significant events in universal history unfolded (Cartago Nova, present-day Cartagena, defied the Roman Empire during the Punic Wars) as well as in Spanish history (Isaac Peral’s submarine trials in Cartagena or the importance of the San Javier Air Base).

Today, visitors can enjoy vast natural spaces, spectacular coasts like those in Cartagena or Mazarrón, and the old town of Murcia. Although small in size, exploring it is a truly intense experience.

A visit is not complete without savoring the local cuisine. Here, the Region of Murcia holds a significant advantage: its renowned orchards continue to provide high-quality products. Combining these with the offerings from the sea results in a healthy gastronomy rich in tradition and attuned to the latest trends.

Add to that the winemaking tradition—with three wine routes in the region—and the quality of dining establishments, and you find yourself in a territory where your palate is in for a treat: pure enjoyment.
Get ready to discover the diverse offerings of the Region of Murcia —beaches, good weather, gastronomy, history, nature, craftsmanship, tradition, festivities, culture, and top-notch services.
