On The Way To The Murcia Region

Last stop on this train road trip. We arrived from Madrid late in the day at the superb Grand Hyatt La Manga Club Golf & Spa, the most beautiful hotel of this exciting journey, which began in Barcelona. The grounds, the golf course where we had a lesson, the restaurants where we dined, the room, the spa, the pools… the breakfasts: everything is designed to make you feel happy! Even the weather, with a clear blue sky!

The very next day, we visited the famous Cartagena with a guide who was a fount of knowledge about the history of this maritime city, whose origins date back to antiquity. I particularly enjoyed the Molinete Roman Forum Museum, located on the very site of the Roman forum (photo above and photomontage “Day 2”). Then we went to the Roman theater, dating from the 1st century AD. Allow one to two days to discover the most iconic monuments.

Day three: we meet up with our friendly guide (from the previous day) in the student city of Murcia, whose origins date back to 831 BC. Arriving at the magnificent Plaza Cardinal Belluga, we discover Murcia Cathedral and the Episcopal Palace (with its beautiful painted façade). We visit a few more Baroque churches and monuments, and in the late afternoon, we relax on the terrace of a café located behind the cathedral. Enjoying the pace of the city.
