From Murcia Airport it is just a 40 minute drive into the bustling heart of the ancient city. A university town, Murcia is an active cultural hub, with a mixture of arts old and new. To get an idea of the history of the area head to the Plaza Cardenal Belluga, a central square surrounded by the town hall, Bishop's Palace and Cathedral of Murcia.

The city's cathedral is one of the must-see sights for visitors, originally built in the 14th Century, it has been added to almost continuously since then, making it a remarkable example of many varied architectural styles. Ascending the cathedral tower is akin to walking through time, as successive layers were built by successive generations, until you reach its Baroque summit.

If you're looking to indulge in a little shopping head to Murcia's old town, where pedestrian streets hold unique boutiques and little coffee shops, where you can rest up and watch the world drift by.

A particularly popular time to visit the city is around Easter, when Murcia holds its world-famous Holy Week procession. Life-size religious icons, created by revered local 18th Century sculptor Francisco Salzillo, are carried through the streets in a re-enactment of Jesus's walk to his crucifixion. Every year thousands of spectators line the streets to witness this highly religious spectacle.

To find further religious iconography drive out of town on the old Alicante road and you will come to the foot of Monteagudo mountain, which is topped by an ancient Moorish Castle. Visitors who make the trek to the top are rewarded with magnificent views of the area and the opportunity to touch the feet of a giant Jesus statue, placed on the castle to claim it for Christianity.
