Dive into Spanish culture with a vacation in Murcia

If you're looking to experience the essence of 'the real Spain,' then a vacation in Murcia offers everything you could want: delicious local cuisine, stunning architecture, miles of sandy beaches within a short drive, and most importantly, an authentic Spanish atmosphere.

While being a modern university city, Murcia dates back to the 9th century and serves as a delightful vacation hub. Located inland, away from the busy Costa Calida coastline, the city is a tranquil oasis. During the hot summer months, take it easy by blending sightseeing in the old quarter with frequent stops at one of the many bars and restaurants.

In the heart of Murcia, you'll find the Cathedral of Santa Maria, showcasing a mix of Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance architectural styles. Climbing to the top of its tower offers a breathtaking view of the city. Once back on solid ground, you can catch some sun as you wander through the beautiful Malecon Garden or explore Murcia’s history at the 11th-century Monteagudo Castle. If you love exploring, consider visiting the nearby town of Orihuela. Another favored destination by visitors from the US is Cartagena.

No trip to Spain is complete without enjoying the local cuisine. Have lunch outdoors at La Tapa and watch people pass by the Plaza de las Flores. Join the locals by grabbing a table at Meson del Corral de Jose Luis and try the local Murcian dishes, including plenty of fresh seafood. Burn off your dinner dancing the night away at one of Murcia’s clubs or savor the local wine at Nuestro Bar.

A vacation in Murcia is more than just a city getaway. The Murcia region is a diverse landscape with fertile plains, national parks, medieval towns, and miles upon miles of the sandy beaches of Costa Calida. Enjoy water sports on the Mar Menor, a saltwater lagoon separated from the Mediterranean by a strip of land filled with popular beaches. Try a round of golf at one of the three golf courses in the exclusive La Manga Club or indulge in a spa day.
