1. Cathedral de Santa Maria

Reviewed By michaelmZ4999YD - Ascoli Piceno, Italy
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.
2. Real Casino de Murcia
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,331 reviews
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.

3. Museo Del Teatro Romano
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,866 reviews
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.)
4. Las Charcas Mud Baths

Small lakes with very warm water, and deck and step access provided. People bathe in these pools and smear the mud from the bottom over their bodies. The mud is reportedly excellent for damaged skin and for arthritic pain.

This is the place I come to whenever I need to unwind, relax and recharge. The clay is absolutely AMAZING, who cares if it smells a bit. I have been coming here for 20 odd yrs and love going for walks in the unspoilt nature. Taking a walk to the Med beach which is never busy. Not a bar/ kiosk in sight and all you can hear are waves breaking. Many migrating birds fly over as well so plenty of different birds you don't normally see can be seen. Great for practising triathlon. It's pretty quiet in the evenings so it's a great place for families w young children. The therapeutic clay is beneficial for EVERYONE. It's contains many minerals/trace elements which when applied, is absorbed and makes miracles to skin, joints and gets rid of cellulite! Arthritis, reumatism, gout, acne, the list is endless to conditions the clay benefits. The clay is the main reason for me returning at least once/year. I love it. Come and try and see for yourself. GRATIS ????..

Natural beach and coves. Stunning setting. Take everything you need with you as there are no facilities whatsoever but that keeps this area beautiful and natural. Lifeguards are present in peak season. We drove to the plentiful parking areas (which are free) however I believe in peak season you park up before entering and they provide a bus to the coves. Plenty of walking to be had around the nature reserve too, provided the sun isn’t too hot! My favourite beach for sure!

Surprisingly beautiful inside at the 17th century religious Santuario de La Fuensanta, Our Lady of the Holy Fountain. This Baroque-style sanctuary honoring the Virgin Mary is perched high with lovely views of a natural park overlooking the city of Murcia and the Segura valley. The church’s construction began in 1694 and the final touches of the facade, designed by Toribio Martinez de la Vega, were completed in 1705. The facade reliefs and sculptures were designed by Jaime Bort and completed by Joes Balaguer. The inside, although not enormous as other religious structures, gives a warm and intimate feel, as though you were immediately welcomed upon entering. Passing the pews, at the far end, the altar has a spectacular gold statue of the Madonna that rises above and behind the figure of Christ. The dome ceiling that hovers over the altar is white, blue and silver, a beautiful contrast setting off all that darker gold below. When we were there, fresh bouquets of white flowers decorated the altar. Adjacent to the church is the convent and a Benedictine Monastery nearby where Jesuit priests were quietly praying in these early morning hours.

Stunningly beautiful drive up the mountain road. The views are utterly breathtaking. There are several passing places along the mainly single track road, some are in places where photography is a must. Small car park at the entrance to the castillitos with a 500 metre walk to the first of the gun replacements. Very windy when I was there but 360 views were just fabulous. Well worth a couple of hours if the weather is not too hazy.

We planned to visit the bridge as we were staying quite close by. We walked with our 2 young children on a cooler evening and really enjoyed it. It is in a quieter area so there’s nothing else around but we walked back along the sea front and loved it. Definitely worth going to see for something different.

Tomas Maestre Marina is located in the north of La Manga, on the shores of Mar Menor. We have over 1.700 berths for boats up to 30 meters in length. The access to the port from the Mediterranean Sea runs through the channel of the Estacio, only means of maritime communication between the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean Sea.

I kept my boat in Tomas Maestre for just over 2 years whilst Re-fitting and sea trialing it. Truely the best service I’ve received in a marina. Super friendly Marinero’s always keen to assist with berthing, Tommi in the office is amazing if you need anything. Can be very quiet in the winter months, but that’s not a complaint. June-August are bouncing. A real hidden gem of a marina. Navemar offer excellent service too if you need a boat yard. Competitive and competent.
