Murcia Sightseeing

Murcia, at the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula makes it prone to sun and beach tourism. Murcia's coastline is known as Costa Calida, has an area of 170 km, where small beaches alternate with cliffs and coves. With "sea itself," the Mar Menor, the beaches are warm and serene. As separation of this salt lake and the Mediterranean Sea, stands La Manga del Mar Menor.

In addition, Caravaca de la Cruz, located northwest of the region, in a plain called Campo, is one of the five Holy Cities of Catholicism along with Rome, Jerusalem, Santiago de Compostela and Liebana.

Murcia offers an extensive cultural landscape, with many facilities and infrastructures: 36 museums and collections, 8 theaters, an Auditorium, Congress Center and 33 spaces for exhibitions and competitions.

The long history of Murcia retains a broad artistic heritage, where we have to highlight other monuments, including the remains of prehistoric dolmen Bagil and paintings of the Cave of the stooge in Calasparra next to the River Segura. In Cartagena there are many vestiges of Roman times, roads, public buildings and a magnificent theater.
