After having visited the Museum of embroidery of the White Brotherhood, we were also very curious to see the collection of the Blue Brotherhood. Again, amazing what a pieces of art are made by hand by a few women of the village. In this museum you can also visit the workshop where you can see all the stages of making these marvellous 'dresses'. We were the only visitors, so we could see everything at ease.

Like the Blue Museum of Holy Week, this is a similar look close up at the incredible workmanship and detailed embroidery done for Holy Week each year. Do not miss the attached gleaming chapel!

I was fortunate to visit both the cathedral and the bell tower of the Cathedral of Santa Maria. The inside of the cathedral is stunning and ornate, but not crazy in terms of it being ostentatious. There is an extreme reverence as you walk around and considering the various chapels. The architecture both inside and out is stunning and its various styles, because of a number of various things that occurred when it was being built, are both interesting and beautiful. If you decide to take the bell tower tour, you will be glad you did. The tour is in Spanish, but there is a really helpful English handout that will tell you most everything you would hear from your tour guide. It is 19 floors up and the majority of it is a rather shallow sloping ramp, so it is reasonable if you concerned because of health. There is a small tower staircase at the top to get to the bell tower, but it is not long and it is certainly worth the visit. I was fortunate to go with some local people, but met Americans in our group. It was well worth the two or so hours I spent both inside and out. There are a number of wonderful little places to eat near by if you need to wait.

El Real Casino de Murcia (Royal Casino of Murcia) is an emblematic building in the city of Murcia. Its unique architecture combines modernist and eclectic artistic styles, and the beauty of the building awakes the admiration of all visitors. In fact, it is the most visited civil building in Murcia. It is situated in the heart of the city centre, on Calle Trapería, close to the Cathedral. The Royal Casino hosts a great variety of cultural activities, such as art exhibitions, talks, conferences, three book clubs and book launches. Institutional ceremonies and business events are also held in the Royal Casino. The splendour of the historic building is perfectly preserved yet it is adapted to modern times.

The Castle of Lorca is the hallmark of the city, symbol of power and the incessant struggle between the Nasrid kingdom of Granada and the Crown of Castile. The castle-fortress is a place where history is lived first hand through exhibitions, workshops for the whole family, guided tours and extraordinary activities throughout the year. In this space, Ben Sakar (the Hawk's Son), the virtual mascot of the castle will show you scenarios as emblematic as the walls, the stables, the cisterns, the Tower of the Spur, the Tower Alfonsina or the Jewish Synagogue.
A wonderful place to visit, we went for the longer tour and enjoyed seeing the Jewish Synagogue as part of this trip.

Not only the stables but also the big figures for the Semana Santa procession are of extreme beauty. Nice last supper. Very quiet.

By visiting the Museum of the Roman Theatre you will encounter one of the most surprising discoveries of the city in the last decades. Thanks to the ingenious design of the architect Rafael Moneo, you will start your tour of the Palace of Riquelme, the first building of the museum, and then follow the historical hallway located under the street to then move to the new space that collects the most emblematic pieces of all found in the excavations. Using modern stairs you will come to the second tunnel, this time is under the medieval church of Santa Maria, a construction superimposed to the old theatre which increases its uniqueness and attraction. After this, the second corridor, will take you to the most relevant part of the museum, the Roman Theatre, one of the largest in the Roman Hispania with capacity for 7,000 people.
This is a wonderful museum/archaeological site, but there’s much more than it appears upon entering. The entryway leads you under other buildings, which allows you to experience foundations from different time periods along with a history of the site, a architectural history of a Roman theater and displays of artifacts found at the site. You eventually emerge near the top of the Theater, but are able to wander up and down, and on to the stage. It’s definitely worth the time and small entry fee, but allow time to explore and enjoy. (Most of the museums offer a multi-ticket, which lets you buy entry to 4/5/6 museums for a reduced price. I did four in one day, and barely made it before they closed.)
