Bienvenido and welcome to Murcia! This region is sandwiched between Valencia and Andalusia, and has a ton of awesome stuff to do. So I'm going to show you my top ten favorite things to do in Murcia. Come on, let's go!
1) Beaches
With over 250km of coast, there are all kinds of amazing beaches and costal scenery, to be enjoyed year round. Thanks to 300 days of sun a year and an average temperature of 19 degrees Celcius.
2) Adventure
In the region of Murcia, there is no shortage of adventure activities. From hiking in the rugged mountains, to all along the picturesque coast………..Cycling enthusiasts, will be happy to hear there is also plenty of terrain for them to explore, too. A 150 peaks above 1000m makes it an ideal location for all types of adventure sports.
3) Gastronomy
Like the rest of Spain, Murcia is a food lovers paradise. Serving all the typical spanish dishes, as well as some locally inspired cuisine. Excellent choices for both land and sea fare, however, they are especially known for their produce
4) Vino
You have to wash down that delicious food with something, it might as well be some locally produced wines. There are three distinct wine regions, each producing several varietals worth savoring. So fill your glass and spend sometime with some good friends.
5) City life
If you are looking for something a lit bit more upbeat, head to the cities of Murcia and Cartagena, which make up the only two metropolitan areas in the province. Murcia is found inland and has a population of around half a million….while Cartagena is found along the coast with nearly a quarter million inhabitants. Both are great places to visit museums, cafes, markets, shops and just admire the architexture.
6) nature
The autonomous community of Murcia is blessed with some excellent and diverse natural settings. If you like green, head to the dense forests of Sierra Espuña, or if you want to see some crazy wind erosion go to Bolnuevo, pink salt flats and flamingos can be seen at Salinas de San Pedro, and one of my favorites is the Ricote Valley which has the look of an oasis, tucked between the desert and the mountains.
7) History & Culture
All throughout the region you will find remnants of past civilizations. Dating back more than 3000 years. This can be observed by visiting the many cathedrals and archeological sites. For a more cultural experience I recommend visiting some small towns. Ojós, Blanca, and Caravaca de la Cruz just to name a few.
8) Nautical sports (Kayaking, fishing, boating)
With all that coastline, there is plenty of adventure to be had here too. Kayaking, Swimming, fishing, scuba diving and sailing can be enjoyed all year round. So don’t forget your swimsuit.
9) Thermal Spas
One of the most leisurely activities to do in the region, is visit a thermal spa. I had the pleasure of experiencing the historic Balneario de Archena wellness facility. The minerals in the water have a therapeutic effect, making it A great place to relax and unwind, after a few days of exploring.
10) Golf
If you like to swing the clubs, the region of Murcia is one of the best locations in all of Europe. Great weather and A total of 22 golf courses are here waiting for you.
Well, that ends or top ten things to do in Murcia video. I hope it helps you out a bunch, but I've got to go because my foods getting cold. Until next time, see you later!

Places to see in ( Murcia - Spain ) Cathedral de Santa Maria
Places to see in ( Murcia - Spain ) Cathedral de Santa Maria
The Cathedral Church of Saint Mary in Murcia (Spanish: Iglesia Catedral de Santa María en Murcia), commonly called the Cathedral of Murcia, is a Catholic church in the city of Murcia, Spain. It is the only cathedral in use in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cartagena in Spain.
When the Christian king Jaime I the Conqueror conquered the city, in spite of the existing pact with the Muslims of the city that prevented destroying any mosque, the king Jaime I took the Great Mosque or Aljamía to consecrate it to the Virgin Mary, since he had the custom to offer a mass to Our Lady whenever he conquered a village. The cimentation of the cathedral begun in the 13th century, in the same place where the great mosque stood. In 1385 the laying of foundations began and in 1388 the first stone was laid. But it was not until 1394 that the construction began, which would be finished in October 1467. Nevertheless, the cathedral continued to grow until the 18th century, which means that the cathedral is made of a variety of artistic styles.
The heart and the entrails of the king Alfonso X the Wise are buried under the main altar of the cathedral, as he indicated in his testament, as a gift and proof of his love to Murcia and in thanks to the fidelity that the city showed to him.
As previously stated, the artistic style of the building is very varied because it was finished in the 18th century. Its interior is Gothic; the facade is Baroque and it was made by the Valencian architect and sculptor Jaume Bort i Meliá.
There are twenty-five bells, all of the 17th century and the 18th century. Each has its own name. Among them are:
The Bell of the Spells
La Catalana
The Bell of Prayer
La Fuensanta
The Conception
La Segundilla
The greater or Agueda-Martillo, which is the main bell

Tiny Tour | Murcia Spain | Driving in the Capital city of Murcia | 2021 Oct
Murcia is the capital city of the autonomous community of the Region of Murcia, and the seventh largest city in the country. Murcia was founded by the emir of Cordoba Abd ar-Rahman II in 825 with the name Mursiyah (Arabic: مرسية). It is now mainly a services city and a university town.
The city, as the capital of the comarca Huerta de Murcia is called Europe's orchard due to its long agricultural tradition and its fruit, vegetable, and flower production and exports.
Traditionally, the municipality of Murcia was an important producer of agricultural raw materials thanks to its fertile and millennial orchard. During the first half of the 20th century, its agriculture became specialized and intensive, allowing its products to be marketed in international markets, something that intensified in the 1950s and 1960s.

Murcia, Museo de Santa Clara - Spain 4K Travel Channel
On our departure day in Murcia, we had time in the morning for a last visit to the city. We wanted to visit the Monastery Museum Santa Clara la Real. In the streets of Murcia, normality has returned, and nothing reminds of the phenomenal festival Entierro de la Sardina last week.
The Monastery Museum Santa Clara la Real is the most important building from the Moorish era. Besides, it also shows the changes and additions in the Gothic and Baroque periods. Thus, it is an outstanding testimony of different epochs and their architectural history.
King Taifa Murciano Ibn Mardanis (the Wolf King) built the palace in a residential area with adequate water outside the medina, in the 12th century. The simple palace was partially destroyed in 1172 when the Almohads took the city.
In the 13th century, King Ibn Hud al Mutawákkil of Murcia built in the same place the Alcácar Sequir (small palace) as a leisure palace. The official residence of the Muslim royal family was the Alcázar Nasir (Grand Palace), further south on the banks of the River Segura.
Ibn Hud was assassinated in 1238. In 1243, Murcia became a protectorate of the Crown of Castile. Ibn Hud al-Dawla (the predecessor's uncle) became the new king of Murcia. The Alcázar Seguir became the permanent residence of the royal family of Murcia.
After the take-over of the city by the Christians the Alcázar Sequir became a royal house of the Castilian monarchy. At that time the castle included not only the palace, but also other buildings, baths, and gardens.
In 1365, Peter of Castile called the Cruel, donated the palace to the Order of the Poor of Santa Clara. One built a Gothic cloister which is still preserved today. The courtyard of the palace, reminiscent of the Alhambra in Granada, became the center of monastic life.
Today's museum houses primarily sacred works of art of the Christian culture. But you also see important Shiite writing by the Muslim scribe of the Egyptian al-Azhar University, Hasan al-´Idwil al-Hamzawi, dating from 1886.

An unserem Abreisetag in Murcia hatten wir am Vormittag noch Zeit für einen letzten Besuch in der Stadt. Wir wollten das Museum des Klosters Santa Clara la Real besuchen. In den Straßen von Murcia ist wieder Normalität eingekehrt und nichts erinnert an das phänomenale Fest Entierro de la Sardina in der letzten Woche.
Das Museum des Klosters Santa Clara la Real ist das bedeutendste Bauwerk aus der maurischen Epoche. Daneben zeigt es aber auch die Veränderungen und Ergänzungen in der Gotik und im Barock. Somit ist es ein hervorragendes Zeugnis verschiedener Epochen und deren Baugeschichte.
Ursprünglich wurde der Palast in einem Wohngebiet mit ausreichend verfügbarem Wasser außerhalb der Medina von König Taifa Murciano Ibn Mardanis (dem Wolfskönig) im 12. Jahrhundert errichtet. Der einfache Palast wurde 1172 teilweise zerstört, als die Stadt von den Almohaden eingenommen wurde.
Im 13. Jahrhundert baute König Ibn Hud al Mutawákkil von Murcia an der gleichen Stelle den Alcácar Sequir (kleiner Palast) als Freizeitpalast. Die offizielle Residenz der muslimischen Königsfamilie war der Alcázar Nasir (großer Palast) weiter südlich am Ufer des Flusses Segura.
1238 wurde Ibn Hud ermordet. 1243 wurde Murcia ein autonomes Protektorat der Krone von Kastilien. Ibn Hud al-Dawla (der Onkel des Vorgängers) wurde neuer König von Murcia. Der Alcázar Seguir wurde zur ständigen Residenz der Königsfamilie von Murcia.
Nach der Übernahme der Stadt durch die Christen wurde der Alcázar Sequir zum Königshaus der kastilischen Monarchie. Damals umfasste das Schloss nicht nur den Palast, sondern auch andere Gebäude, Bäder und Gärten.
1365 schenkte Peter I. der Grausame den Palast dem Orden der Armen von Santa Clara (Klarissen Orden). Ein gotischer Kreuzgang wurde errichtet und ist heute noch erhalten. Der Innenhof des Palastes, der an die Alhambra in Granada erinnert wurde zum Zentrum des klösterlichen Lebens.
Das heutige Museum beherbergt in erster Linie sakrale Kunstwerke der christlichen Kultur. Aber es beherbergt auch eine für die Schiiten bedeutende Schrift des Muslimischen Schreibers der ägyptischen al-Azhar Universität Hasan al ´Idwil al-Hamzawi aus dem Jahr 1886.
