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!

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.

Castle Of Lorca

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.

Museo Del Teatro Romano

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.)

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.

Playa de Calblanque

Reviewed By Ju38 - York, United Kingdom

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!
