The region
of Murcia lies to the south of Valencia and is thinly populated
except in the areas around the rivers. The mountains reach right
down to the sea.
 |
During
the summer months the weather can be almost unbearably hot yet
the winters are mild. The province of Murcia is irrigated by
the Rivers Segura, Murdo and Sangonera which makes ideal conditions
for the many orchards of citrus fruit. In contrast the area
also has expanses of dry, arid land wher olives and vines thrive,
then turning to desert-like land covered in cacti and palms. |
The province has 170km of coastline with wonderful
beaches at La Manga and Aguilas. The historical city of Cartagena
offers a large naval base and thriving industrial area.
The city of Murcia is described as one of the most beautiful and
historic in the country. The city stands on the banks if the river
and enjoys all year round sunshine. It has the highest temperatures
in the region. There is a great deal of Moorish influence in the
city, not least of all the impressive city walls. After the reconquest,
the 20 mosques in the city were turned into churches. The Cathedral
is the most highly prized building in the city. The first foundation
stone was laid in 1388 by Bishop Pedrosa. It took four centuries
to complete. There are so many different styles and cultures within,
including 23 different chapels.
