Sightseeing
The Old Town is a great place to admire the rustic feel of the city, while Murcia’s many parks and gardens are great for al fresco dining. Murcia might have lots to offer as a city break, but that doesn’t mean you have to give the golden sands a swerve! You can reach the beach in around 40 minutes by car.

Eating and drinking
If you’re looking for nibbles to enjoy with drinks, try out some traditional Spanish tapas. These small, mix-and-match dishes are great for sharing with friends and include everything from veggie dishes to meaty stews. For bigger appetites, many restaurants serve a ‘menu del dia’, offering a three-course meal for a set price.
