The city of Murcia is the capital of the Murcia region, Murcia is a small city of about 500,000 inhabitants that was founded by the Moors in 831 as a stronghold in the war against the Christians. The old part of the city is made up of narrow streets huddled around the cathedral although the nicest parts of the city are around the gardens on the banks of the river Segura. The land around Murcia is well irrigated by the river and fruits and vegetables are  extensively grown for the home and international markets, indeed the fertile plain on which the city is built is known as la huerta of Murcia which means vineyard or orchard.
