Murcia
Murcia, capital of the region of the same name, has a lot to offer the motorhome enthusiast. The capital also has a very rich history, having been founded as early as 831 in its privileged location in the middle of the river Segura valley. Remnants of the city wall can still be found in several places in the city and give a good idea that the city acquired under Arab rule. Especially in the 18th century, the city also started to expand beyond the city walls, during which time numerous churches were built in Baroque architecture. Murcia's cathedral is one of the most important buildings in the city, which was built about 600 years ago. A visit to this cathedral is therefore worthwhile when travelling to Murcia. The cathedral has now been converted into a museum where you can admire various works of art and the architecture of the building.
