Murcia Province, Mediterranean province in southeastern Spain

The province spans 11,313 square kilometers of terrain, incorporating mountain ranges, fertile valleys, and a 250-kilometer Mediterranean coastline called Costa Cálida.

The territory became a separate province in 1833, evolving from the medieval Kingdom of Murcia that Arabs established in the 8th century.

The region contains 72 prehistoric cave art sites recognized by UNESCO, with paintings dating back to the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods.

The province maintains direct rail connections to Madrid and Barcelona through its main station in Murcia City, with additional access via Región de Murcia International Airport.

The Mar Menor, Europe's largest saltwater lagoon, stretches across 170 square kilometers along the province's eastern coast, separated from the Mediterranean by La Manga strip.
