Murcia Holidays

Located on Spain’s south-eastern coast, the Murcia region has a rich history and culture, boasting influences from all around the world. Hit the beach, reflect in the Murcia Cathedral, or rub shoulders with the locals at one of the many tapas bars that Murcia is famous for.

Beaches
With plenty of seaside towns to check out in the Murcia region, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing one of their sandy beaches to lay your towel for the day. Boasting almost 2km of golden sands, Aguila’s Playa de Poniente is a firm favourite amongst holidaymakers of all ages. Or, for a more laid-back beach experience, the tranquil Playa de las Palmeras is a beautiful sandy oasis away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Food & Drink
Fill your boots with Murcian favourites like pulpo (octopus roasted in wine, oil, and spices), arroz al caldero (a creamy rice dish made with ñora pppers and fresh seafood), and paparajote (deep fried lemon leaves).

Culture
With visitors coming from near and far throughout its long history, Murcia has a beautifully mixed culture. Throughout the region you’ll find influences from Spanish, African, and Arabic cultures throughout its city architecture and way of life.

Nightlife
No matter where you decide to stay in Murcia, you’ll never be far from a good evening out. Guests in Cartagena will particularly enjoy the sophisticated Al Borak cocktail bar and La Manga Del Mar visitors will be able to make the most out of the lively Trips Summer Club disco.
