With plenty of seaside towns to check out in the Murcia region, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing one of their sandy beaches to lay your towel for the day. Boasting almost 2km of golden sands, Aguila’s Playa de Poniente is a firm favourite amongst holidaymakers of all ages.

Fill your boots with Murcian favourites like pulpo (octopus roasted in wine, oil, and spices), arroz al caldero (a creamy rice dish made with ñora pppers and fresh seafood), and paparajote (deep fried lemon leaves).
With visitors coming from near and far throughout its long history, Murcia has a beautifully mixed culture. Throughout the region you’ll find influences from Spanish, African, and Arabic cultures throughout its city architecture and way of life.
No matter where you decide to stay in Murcia, you’ll never be far from a good evening out. Guests in Cartagena will particularly enjoy the sophisticated Al Borak cocktail bar and La Manga Del Mar visitors will be able to make the most out of the lively Trips Summer Club disco.
