Murcia at a glance
Why go
Hot and historic, the city has an atmospheric Old Town that’s a pedestrian’s paradise and some of Spain’s best tapas.
Local hotspot
The Plaza del Cardenal Belluga, which looks on to the strapping cathedral, is a great spot to take a seat at a café terrace and people watch.
You probably didn’t know
It took nearly 400 years to build the cathedral – albeit in a stop-start manner.
