is an autonomous region situated in the south-east of Spain
on the Mediterranean. The region is bounded by the provinces
of Alicante to the east; Albacete to the north and Granada
and Almería to the west. Enjoying a pleasant and moderate
climate all year round, with an average temperature of approximately
17C, Murcia has more than 3,000 hours of sun a year and warm
Summers (25C), ideal for lovers of the sea and nautical sports.
Within
its almost 12.000 square kilometres, the region of Murcia
offers 250 kilometres of coastline divided between the Mar
Menor and the Mediterranean Sea of which a large part is virgin
and solitary ; orchards, rivers, mountains, grapevines, olive
groves and arid high plateaus; miraculous thermal waters;
a complete offering of sports and a rich artistic and historical
heritage.
In
addition to these features are the particular and delicous
Murcian gastronomy combining fish, rice and seafood of the
littoral, the fruit and vegetables of the "huerta",
the meat and stews of the interior, and festivals full of
colour, light, music and tradition.
