Murcia Cathedral: the most emblematic building in the old town is the cathedral, a 14th century temple built on a mosque that, because of continuous reforms, exhibits numerous architectural styles. The bell tower can be climbed as part of the museum visit.

Streets and beaches: in the medieval streets of the centre visit the majestic and newly restored Casino on the Trapería shopping street. The walk continues and reaches the Plaza de Santo Domingo, one of the most important market places in antiquity.

Find the arch and the church of the same name and stop by the Plaza de las Flores, one of the nerve centres of Murcia.

Romea Theatre: Murcia also has a long theatrical tradition that dates back to the street performances of the 15th century. Over time, stages and large theaters were built covering a wide variety of genres.

The Costa Cálida is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea and the Mar Menor, and is full of white sand beaches, intimate coves and cliffs where you can relax or practice water sports.

From the city you can easily reach the essential points of both the region and Alicante and, even, in Almería, a little further but still easily accessible with a rental car from Murcia. Here are some ideas in each of these provinces:

Alicante
An hour from Murcia, the city offers beautiful walks, comfortable beaches, good food and a very lively nightlife, especially in summer, when many tourists arrive on the coast.

From here you can take a boat and make a stop on Tabarca Island to see its landscapes and spend a pleasant day. Or drive your hire car to other coastal areas such as San Juan, where you can enjoy the terraces for lunch or a drink.

Benidorm and Torrevieja
Although somewhat crowded in summer, Torrevieja and Benidorm are still options for many tourists in search of long beaches where you can sunbathe, restaurants overlooking the sea.

Cartagena and Azohía
Another option is to head south to the fishing town of La Azohía. This town is located just 23 km west of Cartagena, a historic city founded in 227 BC.

Águilas
This municipality is well known for its carnivals, one of the most famous in Spain, although not its only attraction. Águilas also has beautiful coves and other tourist spots such as Castillo de San Juan or Isla del Fraile. La Manga and Cabo de Palos: La Manga del Mar Menor belongs to the Autonomous Community of Murcia, and from the Avis car rental office in the centre you can arrive in less than an hour.

Come here if you want to enjoy the beach and the good weather and do not forget to visit the Cabo de Palos, an area of ​​beautiful coves that give the landscape a special beauty.

San Pedro del Pinatar
With several kilometres of beach, this area is one of the busiest in Murcia to enjoy a good swim. But if you are looking for more tranquility, north of this municipality you can visit the natural park of Salinas and Arenales del Pinatar. Nature in its pure state without so many people.

Mojácar
This municipality of Almería is about 160 kilometres from the centre of the city of Murcia, so driving takes about two hours. Probably one of the most beautiful and curious villages in Spain, Mojácar stands on the end of the Sierra Cabrera and offers a picturesque image with its houses all white-fronted. In addition to walking through its narrow and pleasant streets, you can go down to the beach area and travel its several kilometres of coastline.
