Murcia
27 ABR - 31 DIC
Water sports and picturesque scenery on the banks of the River Segura in central Murcia Lush greenery, a wide, slow-moving river punctuated by rapids and weirs, a secluded valley hidden from the world by steep mountains¿ this may sound uncharacteristic of the Costa Cálida but it can all be found in the Ricote valley, a natural paradise just 35 kilometres or so from the city of Murcia. This idyllic area in the heart of the Region is full of history, having been known at one point as the ¿Morisco Valley¿ when it was one of the last..
Jumilla
18 NOV - 31 DIC
History, wine, breathtaking landscapes, a medieval castle and some of the most widely acclaimed Spanish wine! Jumilla, which lies in the ¿Altiplano¿ area in the north of the Region of Murcia, is one of the many towns in Spain which are full of attractions for visited but which are too often ignored in favour of other destinations closer to the coast. It¿s true that it is a fair distance from the nearest beaches (between 75 and 90 minutes by car from the Vega Baja and most of the Costa Cálida), but it¿s one of those places that..

Mazarrón is set in a wide bay which opens up into the Mediterranean Sea. Its coast used to be visited by Phoenician traders, fishermen of every era and by former miners, who used it to unwind after their hard day's work. It's one of the best places to holiday for sun and beach lovers!
Frankly, we just love hustle and bustle. Both the great climate and tradition lead Murcian people to meet up in good company in order to make the most of the good weather. One example of these meeting places are the bars where you can enjoy nearly an infinite variety of tapas, whether it be inside at the counter or outside on the sun terraces. Just don't forget to always have your napkin to hand and, if you're still hungry, be ready to shout out 'Camarero, otra ronda!' ('Waiter, another round please!')
At 7 miles from Murcia and situated in a fertile valley, this small town of unique character is found. Mula fuses its Arab structure with noble mansions, a castle, palaces and monuments whose origin goes back to the time in which the Marquis of Los Vélez dominated these territories.
In the Northeast is al-Bayada, which means "the white town" in Arabic. Abanilla is known as the Murcian Palestine because of its desert landscapes, palm trees oasis and Muslim origin.
Reading the menu in a Murcia bar or restaurant can be, to say the least, perplexing for a foreigner. You could submit the waiter to an intensive questioning, play eenie meenie miney moe or have a look at our glossary, but really don't worry! Whatever you choose, it's sure to be the right decision.
If what you need is a break, then forget about your stresses and treat yourself. The region's waters are available to you from our numerous spas and thalassotherapy centres.
Much more than a transit point, Puerto Lumbreras is a rural and cultural destination of virgin nature; one of those beautiful places where you should stop. The municipality, a close neighbour to the Andalusians, now shows its main attractions.
Torre Pacheco is a rural destination surrounded by farmland, windmills and important archaeological sites. It's a wonderful place to take a few days off, play golf or simply enjoy its cuisine.
