Living in Murcia

Murcia has a thriving tourist industry with visitors attracted by the temperate climate, culture, cuisine and sports facilities. The regional capital and university city on the River Segura is a lively, cosmopolitan centre with grand hotels, fancy restaurants, top shops and a colourful nightlife. It is a compact city and easy to get around. The 15th century Gothic cathedral dominates the main square where there are many other beautiful historic buildings, shops, cafes and restaurants. Here you can enjoy the finest regional, national and international cuisine. Murcia cuisine is centred around its local produce such as peppers, tomatoes, fish, cheese and lamb. Rice plays a fundamental part in the Murcian diet as it is grown in the nearby Calasparra region and some consider it to be the finest in Spain. Murcia enjoys many fiestas but its Easter processions are among the most famous in Spain, when life-size, finely detailed sculptures by the 18th century artist, Murcia-born Francisco Salzillo are taken out of the museums and paraded around the city. The colourful Orchard procession takes place about a week later.
