Covering 11,000 km2, the region of Murcia has it all – two seas on one coastline – the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean, impressive cliffs, heavenly beaches of endless white sand, lively ports and wild coves with crystal clear water, 320 days of sunshine a year, mild winters and warm summers. Because of Murcia regions unique microclimate, unlike other areas in Spain such as Madrid and Barcelona, it does not have the bitter cold or intense heat. All in all the perfect place to live, relax and enjoy all year round.
Murcia’s landscape is also unique and its soil is one of the most fertile in the whole peninsula with 30% of its cultivated land irrigated (an area known as the “orchard of Europe”) where lemons, oranges and the most traditional trees grow in abundance. In contrast you will find beautiful mountainous regions such as El Carche, Sierra Espuna and La Pila which are full of wild game and woodland, not to mention castles, fortresses, hermitages and convents. With the Sierra Nevada also just a few hours away, you could be lazing on a beach in the morning, enjoying a traditional Spanish tapas for lunch and then skiing in the afternoon. This is what makes Murcia such a fabulous place to visit or live. Add to that the fact that the World Health Organisation nominated it as “one of the world’s healthiest places” and you can see the attraction.
Murcia is a friendly region and very family focused. They also have the same relaxed approach to life as the rest of Spain, with the heat encouraging long lunches followed by socialising and resting during the afternoon fiesta, usually held between 2pm and 5pm when you will find most of the shops closed, reopening until either 8pm or 9pm.
Murcia has something for everyone, and to top it all the cost of living is approximately 30% cheaper than the UK. Discover this remarkable region for yourself and make your dream of owning a home in the sun a reality by calling one of our team now on freephone 0800 988 2272
