Different ways of exploring the region are to be found in all corners of Murcia, and the regional tourist board is constantly..

Wild animals are all around is, of course, but so accustomed are we to small insects and birds that we rarely stop to remember that not so far away are some of the most fascinating and impressive of the many species that exist on Planet Earth. It sometimes seems incredible that just a short distance away from our world of tarmac and concrete are majestic beasts which have existed far longer than human beings, and that all we need to do is make a small effort to admire them..

Frankly, we just love hustle and bustle. Both the great climate and tradition lead Murcian people to meet up in good company in order to make the most of the good weather. One example of these meeting places are the bars where you can enjoy nearly an infinite variety of tapas, whether it be inside at the counter or outside on the sun terraces. Just don't forget to always have your napkin to hand and, if you're still hungry, be ready to shout out 'Camarero, otra ronda!' ('Waiter, another round please!')
