There is a place where the history and tradition of a majestic culture intertwines with the world of modern amenities and technology. Entering this magical world, visitors feel both the dynamics of a vibrant community and the endearing comfort of centuries-old tradition. This place, this refuge, this city of delight is called Murcia.

Murcia is located in southeastern Spain, nestled between the Sierra de Orihuela and the Cresta de Gallo mountains that stretch all the way down to the sea. It is here that in the 8th century an extensive irrigation system was built to foster agriculture, and it is here that even today that ancient system forms the basis for many parts of the modern watering system. Thanks to the ingenious transport of water, the area surrounding Murcia is lush and abounds with citrus fruit orchards of all kinds.

The tradition of Spanish culture is easily experienced by visiting the Cathedral de Santa Maria. This beautiful building was started in the 14th century and through the years was constructed in phases.

Because the city has been home to so many different peoples through the centuries, every where you look is a different style, a different influence, and a different beauty to be appreciated. Venture into the archaeological museum to see the amazing history of the region, or visit the water systems museum to better understand the magnitude of the achievement that early residents accomplished with their irrigation system. If art is what you really enjoy, then Murcia is where you’ll lose yourself among the many fine museums and galleries displaying some of the finest art in Spain.
