The Spanish city dubbed the 'Garden of Europe' – with 23C winters, €2 pints and cheap flights | The Sun
Posted on
MURCIA is the perfect getaway for foodies and adventurers alike.
Tucked inland between Alicante and Cartagena, the region has plenty to see and do, easy access to some of Spain’s most dramatic coastlines and, of course, plenty of sunshine in autumn and early winter.
WHY SHOULD I GO?
THE region is known as the Garden of Europe, with fertile plains, mountains and valleys irrigated by the River Segura and towns surrounded by fruit and citrus orchards.
The centre of the capital city, also called Murcia, is just 20 minutes’ drive from the airport.
But the city also gives easy access to the surrounding dramatic countryside, for its hiking, biking, trekking and kayaking opportunities, as well as lovely coves, beaches and more on the coast.
WHAT’S THE WEATHER LIKE?
THIS place is like the sun’s permanent VIP lounge, with a pleasant average temperature of 23 degrees throughout the year, and even during the winter, temperatures remain mild, ranging from 15 to 20 degrees.
