Paseo del Malecón, Baroque monument in Murcia, Spain.

The Paseo del Malecón extends for 1.5 kilometers along the western edge of Murcia, elevated three meters above ground level adjacent to agricultural lands.

Built in the 15th century as a containment wall, the structure underwent major repairs in 1736 by Francisco de Luján y Arce due to damage from rain and horse traffic.

The promenade connects the urban area with the traditional agricultural lands, serving as a meeting point between city dwellers and farming communities.

The elevated walkway provides protection against flooding from the Segura River while offering a walking path between San Francisco Square and La Arboleja district.

During the Spring Festival and Murcia Fair, the promenade transforms into a marketplace with food stalls and craft vendors alongside the historical structure.
