Murcia

Hi Fellow Traveller,

In the south east of Spain, on the Mediterranean Coast, is the region of Murcia, with its historical capital, the seventh largest city in the country, having a population of around 442,000.

Founded in 825AD, the City of Murcia is still a very traditionally Spanish place to visit, with many Baroque buildings there to be admired, along with the magnificent Cathedral of Murcia, and, as it is predominantly a services city, many university buildings of note. The city`s is served by San Javier International Airport, with Alicante International Airport being just over 72kms away.

20 minutes drive from this cosmopolitan and traditional Spanish city, is the very popular villa rental resort of El Valle. Originally built by Polaris, El Valle Golf Resort combines a superb 18 hole golf course, club house and communal pool, for the golf enthusiasts naturally, with 3 to 4 bed traditionally Spanish styled rental villa`s, all with private pools, for the sun seekers and sun worshippers out there.
