City in Spain
Murcia
9 things to see
A warm southeastern Spanish city with a baroque cathedral, Arab walls, and the tradition of free tapas with every drink. Budget travelers find a genuine university city with low prices and a compact historic center along the Segura River that is free to wander on foot. The cathedral square and the pedestrian streets cost nothing to enjoy, and a cheap drink often comes with enough food to call it a meal. It sits within easy reach of Cartagena and Alicante on the coast.
