It offers historical cities like Murcia (the capital city), Cartagena or Lorca, notable monumental municipalities, and cities of services, with a colourful local folklore and festivities.
This region has endless fine beaches, unspoiled water, beautiful weather, the wonderful cuisine, spectacular festivals, traditional Spanish cities and a surprising cultural scene.
