Murcia, a city in south-eastern Spain is the capital of the autonomous community of the Region of Murcia as well as being Spain’s 7th largest city. Due to its hot summers, mild winters and insignificant rainfall, this destination deserves to be a popular destination for Spaniards and foreign tourists alike, yet it remains, to this day, relatively unknown.
Still an unspoilt area, Murcia attracts visitors and inhabitants alike thanks to its relatively low prices, its pretty mountain villages and attractive coastline. As well as continuing to profit from its agricultural roots, Murcia now relies very much on a range of service industries and the university for its economic welfare.
Visitors to this region should pick up their low cost car hire at Murcia Airport. Although a car isn’t necessary in Murcia city itself, where you can explore the majority of the attractions on foot, you’d regret not availing of a hire car to explore further afield. In Murcia city itself, there’s a good range of commercial streets as well as river walks to keep you enthralled. Thereafter, there’s an array of churches, convents and museums, including the well known Murcia Cathedral, Casino del XIX, the Santa Ana Church as well as the Cathedral, Science, City and Religious Art Museums to name but a few. There’s also a whole host of not so well known attractions which are worthy of a visit.
Within a short drive of Murcia City and well worth booking a low cost hire car for are Cartagena, Lorca, Alhama de Murcia as well as the coastal resorts of La Manga and Mar Menor, all of which will make great days out during your stay.
Murcia Airport is a very small airport, which is in fact located about 45 km outside of the city, situated close to the small town of San Javier. It is the airport of choice for people looking to explore the Costa Blanca and the Costa Calida as it is within easy reach of the cities of Murcia, Torrevieja and Cartagena as well as a short drive from La Manga which is a very popular tourist destination. Low cost car hire at Murcia Airport is well catered for notwithstanding the small size of the airport itself. All of that said, it is well worth selecting and booking your low cost car hire at Murcia Airport before you leave in order to avoid disappointment and to secure yourself a good deal.
