An inland provincial capital, Murcia charms with its baroque cathedral, tapas terraces and the buzz of a university city. Crossed by the Segura river and ringed by its huerta of orchards, it offers an authentic year-round Spanish way of life, free from the tourist seasons.
The housing stock is varied here: city-centre flats, modern developments on the outskirts and houses in the residential districts. A sound choice for anyone after a base lived in all year or an investment in a genuine Spanish city.
