Molina de Segura

Molina de Segura is a municipality in the Murcia region that spreads across terrain shaped by the Segura River and the Sierra de la Espada mountains. The landscape combines flat agricultural areas with mountain formations, showing the typical layout of a farming community in Mediterranean southeastern Spain.

The Romans built two major roads through this area, connecting Carthago Nova to Complutum and Elche to Cieza during their rule beginning in 209 BC. These trade routes shaped settlement patterns in the region for centuries.

The Municipal Band of Music performs regular concerts at Teatro Villa de Molina, representing forty years of musical tradition in the community.

The municipality is well connected by regional roads to Murcia and surrounding towns, positioned centrally in the Vega Media del Segura. Visitors find it a good base for exploring the agricultural areas and natural formations across the region.

Three hiking trails in the northern part lead to Lagunas de Campotéjar, where migratory birds nest throughout the year. These wetlands form a surprising contrast to the dry surroundings and draw nature watchers.
