Find your perfect holiday in Murcia

The heart of Murcia beats on the lively Plaza de las Flores, surrounded by terraces and atmospheric restaurants. Nearby stands the impressive Murcia Cathedral with its stunning baroque facade and a 95-metre tower. Climb to the top for a sweeping view over the rooftops of the city. Art lovers will find their fill at the Museo de Bellas Artes de Murcia, with works by well-known Spanish masters. The Santa Clara Museum, housed in a historic convent with a charming courtyard, offers a fascinating look at the rich history of the region. 

The Costa Cálida, literally the warm coast, is known for its quiet beaches and clear blue sea. Here you will find plenty of space to roll out your towel, take a dip or try out water sports. The absolute highlight of the region is the Mar Menor: the largest and warmest saltwater lake in Europe. The shallow, warm water is perfect for floating, snorkelling or a leisurely swim. Around the lake you will find walking and cycling routes along the water, ideal for those who want to explore the natural surroundings up close.

Murcia is a serious culinary destination. The region is known for its fresh vegetables, fish and vibrant tapas culture. In the cosy bodegas and tapas restaurants of the old centre you taste authentic dishes, from grilled fish to meat skewers and local cheeses. End your evening with a glass of regional wine on a terrace while Mediterranean life flows past you. Because Murcia attracts fewer tourists than many other Spanish cities, you get to experience the real local atmosphere to the full.
