If you are arriving early, enjoy a day visiting Murcia on your own, or join us for a relaxed pre-wedding day exploring the historic heart of the city! Nestled in southeastern Spain, this charming city offers a perfect blend of tradition and culture. We’ll wander through its lively streets to discover stunning landmarks like the grand Cathedral of Murcia, a masterpiece of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, and the Real Casino de Murcia, an ornate 19th-century social club. Along the way, we'll learn about Murcia’s Moorish roots and Christian reconquest, and of course, indulge in some delicious local cuisine—from tapas and marineras to sweet and savoury pastel de carne. To top it all off, we’ll enjoy an ice-cold Estrella de Levante, the region’s iconic beer—because no visit to Murcia is complete without it!
It’s the perfect way to kick off the celebrations together!
If you’re arriving early, there are plenty of beautiful spots nearby worth discovering! Stroll through the historic streets of Lorca, known for its impressive castle (spoiler: the wedding venue!) and Baroque architecture, or enjoy the seaside charm of Águilas, with its beaches and coastal promenade. Don't miss Totana, a traditional Murcian town famous for its ceramics, and easy access to the Sierra Espuña natural park. A highlight is the Santuario de Santa Eulalia, a 16th-century sanctuary nestled in the foothills of Sierra Espuña.
Just across the provincial border in Almería, the whitewashed hilltop village of Mojácar offers stunning views and bohemian vibes, while Vélez Rubio and Vélez Blanco are full of authentic Andalusian charm, with quiet plazas, mountain backdrops, and even a Renaissance castle. These hidden gems make perfect day trips for soaking up the region’s beauty at your own pace.
The region is a true delight for food lovers! Expect plenty of tapas, fresh seafood, and hearty traditional dishes like migas, zarangollo, michirones, or arroz con habichuelas. You’ll also find excellent local wines, and of course, Estrella de Levante beer flowing freely. Whether you're dining in a coastal chiringuito or a local bar, you're in for delicious, authentic flavours—and generous portions!
