Visit one of Spain’s largest cities. Beautiful Murcia is known as Europe’s orchard, reflecting its long agricultural tradition as a producer of fruit, vegetables and flowers.Enjoy a leisurely drive from Cartagena to the foothills of the Sierra de Carrascoy mountain range, where a Baroque style church stands with breathtaking, panoramic views. The 17th century Sanctuary of the Virgin of Fuensanta celebrates the patron saint of Murcia City and an interior visit will show you a decorated gold alter, religious icons, a fresh water fountain and views over the capital of the province.
Historic Murcia was settled by the Moors in the 9th century and conquered by the Christians in the 13th century, so this bustling city offers a wonderful array of architectural delights.
Enjoy a walking tour through the heart of the city with your guide who’ll bring the place to life for you. Feel the warm atmosphere and capture endless photographs as you admire Murcia‘s streets up close.
Visit the Cathedral of Murcia. Standing on the site of a former Arab mosque, this eclectic construction is a melange of architectural styles. Taking more than 500 years to complete, Murcia’s cathedral has a Gothic interior and a Baroque façade and a bell tower that stands 95 metres high.
Enjoy some free time to explore the area at your leisure, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the city centre.
