Many centuries ago, in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, the splendid city of Murcia was founded, famous for the fields and orchards that surround the area.
The city prospered over the years thanks to its agriculture, but that also caused sadness among its inhabitants , as the rest of the world began to mock, saying that in Murcia there were only fields and crops and nothing else.
But that's over, thanks to some young guides who decided to put an end to this false fame and show that the city of Murcia has many, many more things to teach.
We invite you to get to know the historic center of the city, walking through its most famous streets and visiting the most emblematic places such as:
- Cathedral
- The Royal Casino
- The legendary Romea Theater
- among other things.
