Activity itinerary

Puente de los Peligros

15m

Start at the oldest bridge in Murcia, the 18th-century Bridge of the Hazards, the symbol of the city’s resilience against devastating flooding. The engineering gem featuring the robust yet slender baroque style offers breathtaking views over the town and the curious Monument to the Burial of the Sardine, partly emerging in the middle of the river.

Episcopal Palace of Murcia

15m

Continue to wander through the mesmerising architectural showcase of the town whose highlight is Cardinal Belluga Square. On its south borders stands the striking Episcopal Palace of Murcia, an exceptional example of the Rococo style. Take your time to examine the splendid decorative details on the reddish façade harmoniously blending Italian and French styles while listening to the stories about historic visitors occupying the 18th-century building.

Catedral de Murcia

15m
Admission ticket not included

Then, indulge yourself with the lavish architectural feast of the 14th-century Murcia Cathedral next to the palace, displaying all the flamboyant Gothic beauty with some delicate Renaissance and Baroque elements. From the stunning façade laden with intricate carvings and lively sculptures, take a walk around the colossal structure to admire the Gothic gem of Vélez Chapel and the looming Murcia Cathedral Tower, the second highest in Spain.

Calle Traperia

15m

Continue to stroll along the medieval Traperia Street for a glimpse into the thriving urban life during the Middle Ages. The liveliest pedestrian road is dotted with historic buildings, among which stands Murcia Casino, an elegant architectural gem housing the private club of the upper classes dating to the 11th century.

Plaza de las Flores

20m

Next, enjoy the relaxed and lively atmosphere at the favourite hangout of the town, the Flower Square. Taking its name from colourful flower stalls, the bustling space is also famous for its Murcia tapas stalls and terrace cafes, filling the air with vibes and aromas. Don’t forget to take souvenir pictures with the emblematic "La niña de la flores" bronze sculpture in the beautiful central fountain of the charming square.

Muralla de Veronicas

15m

Proceed to pass by Veronicas Wall, a rare vestige of the Muslim past of Murcia. What’s left of the 12th-century Hispano-Muslim city walls provides passers-by with precious insights into the lost empire that used to reign supreme in the region.

Mercado de Abastos de Verónicas

20m

Finally, take a full bite of the vibrant Murcia’s soul at the famous Veronicas Food Market, offering an amazing variety of fresh local produce and products, such as vegetables, fruits, seafood, culture meat, cheese, wines, etc. While exploring the dreamy world of colourful displays, aromatic fragrances, and bustling sounds, don’t miss out on cooking classes held almost every day in a cosy gastronomic space in the market!
