Tucked away in Spain’s sunny southeast, Murcia and the Costa Cálida offer the perfect mix of culture, coastline, and countryside. Whether you’re here for a short break or a longer holiday, this region has something for everyone—from golden beaches to charming towns and mountain adventures.

Discover Murcia City

The capital city, Murcia, is a vibrant blend of history and modern living. Its streets are filled with lively tapas bars, local markets, and impressive landmarks like the Cathedral of Murcia with its stunning baroque façade. Spend an afternoon wandering the old town, enjoy a coffee in one of the shaded plazas, and soak up the relaxed Spanish atmosphere.

Sunshine Along the Costa Cálida

Costa Cálida, meaning “the warm coast,” lives up to its name with over 300 days of sunshine a year. Here you’ll find miles of sandy beaches and the unique Mar Menor lagoon, a shallow saltwater sea known for its warm waters and water sports. Whether you prefer quiet coves or lively seaside promenades, there’s a stretch of sand for every mood.

Outdoor Adventures

For nature lovers, the Sierra Espuña National Park is a must. Just inland from the coast, it offers scenic hiking trails, mountain biking routes, and breathtaking views over the valleys below. It’s the perfect escape for those who want a taste of adventure alongside their beach days.

Food and Drink in Murcia

Murcia is often called “Europe’s orchard,” thanks to its fertile land. Fresh fruit, vegetables, and local wines are everywhere, and no trip is complete without sampling tapas in a traditional Spanish bar. Don’t miss dishes like zarangollo (a courgette and egg scramble), caldero (a rice and fish dish typical of the coast), and the region’s excellent cheeses.

The Perfect Base for Your Holiday

Staying at resorts like Condado de Alhama puts you right in the middle of all this. With world-class golf, swimming pools, and on-site restaurants, you get the best of both worlds: a relaxing home-from-home and easy access to Murcia’s highlights.

Murcia and the Costa Cálida are destinations that combine the best of Spain—sunshine, authentic culture, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re drawn by the beaches, the history, or the food, one thing is certain: you’ll want to return again and again.
