Murcia Province, Mediterranean province in southeastern Spain
Description
Murcia Province is a region in southeastern Spain that stretches from mountains to the coast. The area includes fertile valleys, mountain ranges, and a broad coastline with beaches and coves.
History
The area was conquered by Arabs in the 8th century and shaped the history for centuries. In 1833 the modern province was officially created and maintained its administrative form since then.
Culture
The region shows influences from different cultures in its cities and villages, from Moorish structures to Christian monuments. You can see this blend in the architecture and in the local festivals that happen throughout the year.
Practical
The region has good rail connections to Madrid and Barcelona, with the main station in Murcia City. The international airport offers additional options for arrivals from other parts of Spain and Europe.
Did you know?
Along the eastern coast sits the Mar Menor, Europe's largest saltwater lake, separated from the open sea by a narrow strip of sand. This shallow, calm body of water has its own ecosystem and draws both visitors and seabirds.
