Experience Murcia: what to see, what to do

Murcia's Moorish roots can be found all over town but today this city prides itself on being young with a cosmopolitan flare. The city serves up plenty to do but there is even more waiting outside the city limits. Venture out to the mountains or as far as the Costa Calida, the Hot Coast.

Essentials in Murcia

Cathedral: Murcia's cathedral dates back to the end of the 1300s and was a stunning example of Gothic tradition until it was given a Baroque facelift in the 1700s. Don't miss the adjoining Museo de la Catedral for the excavations on display, simply remarkable.

La Manga: This sandbar on the seaside of Murcia's coast is very popular in the summer months. It separates the Mediterranean from the Mar Menor, creating a lush lagoon lined with restaurants, hotels and resort facilities.

Sierra Espuña: Take advantage of having a Murcia rent car and get out of the visit to do some hiking in Sierra Espuña's pine forests. Pack a picnic and head for the hills!

Caravaca: There are so many charming small towns in the Murcia region. Caravaca is just one example. Visit the Castle of Saint Crux while you're there. Legend has it that the cross in the castle has healing powers.
