Travel guide: what to do and see in Murcia
Tourist Gem: La Huerta de Europa con 300 días de sol.
La Vega del Segura reveals a sunny city just 40 kilometers from the Mediterranean. With a lot of university life, the surroundings mix landscapes of wasteland, dry land, sea views, and Aleppo pine forests. If you look up into their treetops, you might spot some of the birds of prey that frequent their skies: eagles, hawks, or eagle owls. And you can do it in short sleeves since it enjoys an average temperature of 18 degrees for much of the year. Its winters are mild and the summers are hot. In reality, any time is a good time to visit, but Holy Week, the spring festivals, or its September fair will let you discover the city in its finest attire. Take the opportunity to eat well, the good produce from its orchards is guaranteed.
