Murcia / Spain is a university city and the capital of a region also named Murcia. With around 440.000 inhabitants it is ranking seventh in Spain. Murcia was founded in 831 under Moorish rule while now there are several baroque churches in the city.
We start out our at the main baroque cathedral: The late 14th century "Cathedral Church of Saint Mary" in Murcia. We circle the impressive building and check out several of the squares in the old town. There are many cafés and restaurants where people enjoy this late afternoon.
We head to the river Segura where Murcia has several gardens. There are some fountains for a nice atmosphere for walking around.
In the more modern district of "El Carmen" across the rover we see the garden "Jardín De Floridablanca" and make our way back to the old town.
The sunset is getting closer so we see the cathedral once again, have a peek inside and end this nice afternoon / evening walking tour of Murcia.
