Itinerary
Murcia is the capital city of this region, and the panoramic drive to reach it will give you the opportunity to pass through the foothills of the Sierra de Carrascoy, and stop at the baroque Shrine of Fuensanta, situated in the foothills of the mountains surrounding the city with superb views.
The Cathedral and the Historical Casino (not a gambling hall!) are just spectacular so both are a must during your visit.
Once in Murcia, you will stroll through the beautiful pedestrian area of the historical city centre, visiting the building of the Royal Casino, and the impressive Cathedral, a medley of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque masterpiece that took 400 years to be completed. Your visit to Murcia, will be completed with the taste of the traditional “Meat pie”, a recipe preserved since the 17th century, a delicious local specialty.
Returning to Cartagena, we will continue with a panoramic drive, then stroll through the Main Street (shopping and restaurant area).
Visit the Punic Wall, one of the best preserved heritages from its times in Europe, where the history of the city began by the Carthaginians on the 3rd century b.c. and taste café asiático, as one of the local drinks before returning back onboard.

Beautiful city with magnificent architecture. A must-visit without hesitation.
Murcia was a hidden gem and we got to see a very moving religious procession. Our guide was outstanding and Murcia was the highlight of all excursions we booked on our cruise.
Very knowledgeable guide that was from the area. Polite and kind guide and driver too. We were driven to Murcia first and did quite a bit of walking through the town and several squares.
The entire region is interesting and diverse. From the sea and rich history of Cartagena to vast fields of vegetables and vineyards then to the charming center of Murcia. We loved discovering this amazing area.
Our guide Nico did a great job in showing us the main sights of Cartagena. It was a good mix of driving and walking. We also never felt rushed. He allowed us to spend what time we wanted to spend at each site. He also helped us with a great restaurant for dinner and a ride there.
visited by taxi from our resort,lovely place with great architecture, restaurants and a fabulous boat ride around the bay
We had a great day in Murcia and Cartagena making the most of a 1-day cruise stop here. Ursula was energetic and passionate in her knowledgeable delivery of a jam-packed tour experience of both Murcia and Cartagena. The vehicle was clean, comfortable and cool on an extremely hot day. We had water provided so we stayed hydrated as we navigated the walking tours in the heat. We really had a wonderful day considering our limited time here.
We had a wonderful tour -- Danny is such a knowledgeable and fun guide! The casino in Murcia is not to be missed, and both the history and architecture of Cartagena are amazing. Plus the meat pies were delicious. I cannot imagine having had a better day!
The tour guide Veronica was very knowledgeable about the area and the cultural history of Cartagena and the surrounding towns. A very enjoyable day trip.
Murcia was closed due to a festival. Our guide did a great job of showing us around Cartegena and filling the day. The Roman theater was amazing.
