Back to main Murcia page

Murcia boasts a variety of areas worthy of mention due to their outstanding natural beauty. There is, in fact, a surprising diversity from which to choose, and the visitor to the region will find varied landscapes, from rugged upland, open plains, open countryside and huertas, and will, at the same time be able to get away from it all in places where the warmth of the locals adds to the experience of back-country Murcia.

Places such as Águilas, Cartagena, Fuente Álamo, Lorca, Molina de Segura, Murcia, Puerto Lumbreras, San Javier, and Torre Pacheco all offer a wide variety of resorts, towns and villages to explore. Experience the uniqueness of the Mar Menor (little sea) offering chic resorts such as Santiago de la Ribera and Los Alcazares, with their superb beaches and every variety of water sport. Whatever you do you must visit the historic city of Murcia with its many churches, cathedral, museums, plazas and gardens; excellent shops and restaurants abound. Finally, the area behind the Mar Menor stretching back to the hills above Murcia is being developed as a major golfing facility with companies like Polaris World building large, self contained golf resorts providing every luxury and amenity.
