Region of Murcia, Autonomous community in southeastern Spain
The Region of Murcia extends over 11,313 square kilometers, featuring Mediterranean coastlines, agricultural plains, and mountain ranges reaching 2,014 meters at Los Obispos Peak.
The territory transformed from an Islamic emirate to the Christian Kingdom of Murcia in 1243 when King Ferdinand III of Castile established control over the region.
The regional calendar includes 72 cave art locations designated as World Heritage Sites, plus religious celebrations in Caravaca de la Cruz, a Catholic holy city.
The regional transportation network connects major cities through buses and trains, with the A-7 and A-30 highways providing access to coastal areas and inland destinations.
The Mar Menor, measuring 170 square kilometers, stands as the largest salt-water lagoon in Europe, separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a 22-kilometer sand strip.
