If you stay at TAIGA Costa Cálida in Portús, you are just 35 minutes away by car (about 30 km) from the city of Murcia, a destination full of history, culture and culinary delights. Get ready for an intense and exciting day. Here we go!
There's nothing like starting the day enjoying the unique surroundings of TAIGA Costa Cálida . Prepare a relaxed breakfast with sea views: a freshly brewed coffee, toast with tomato and olive oil and some local sweets to treat yourself. This moment is perfect to recharge your batteries and plan the details of your getaway to Murcia.
The journey from the campsite to Murcia is an experience in itself. In just over 30 minutes, you will travel through typical southeastern Spanish landscapes, mountains in the background and a climate that invites you to enjoy. Don't forget to prepare a playlist to liven up the journey and give it a unique touch. Before you know it, you will be in the city.
Your first stop has to be the majestic Cathedral of Santa Maria, an architectural gem that combines Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. Admire every detail of its spectacular façade, considered one of the most important in Spain. If you're feeling adventurous, climb the bell tower to enjoy unique panoramic views of Murcia. From there, you'll be able to get an idea of everything the city has to offer.
Walk to Plaza de Las Flores, an iconic spot where you can breathe the authentic Murcian atmosphere. This square, full of terraces and flowers, is ideal for a quiet break. Order a soft drink or a vermouth while you watch the people come and go. It is also the perfect place to try a light tapa, such as a marinera or some local-style olives.
When it comes to eating, Murcia does not disappoint. Find a restaurant that serves traditional dishes and be amazed. Must-try dishes include zarangollo (a scrambled egg with zucchini and onion), migas con tropezones (bread crumbs) and arroz al caldero (rice in a pot). Accompany your meal with a good wine from the region and, to finish, don't forget the famous paparajote, a traditional dessert made with lemon leaves coated in batter and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. A delight you won't forget!
With a full stomach and curiosity intact, head to the Salzillo Museum, dedicated to the Baroque sculptor Francisco Salzillo. This museum houses some of the most representative works of Holy Week in Murcia, as well as Nativity scenes that are true masterpieces. It is a must-see for lovers of art and tradition.
After the intensity of the museum, relax in the Floridablanca Garden, an oasis of peace in the centre of Murcia. This historic park, full of ancient trees and quiet paths, is ideal for a relaxing stroll. Find a bench in the shade of the enormous ficus trees and enjoy the gentle sound of nature in the heart of the city.
To end the day, explore Gran Vía Alfonso X and the nearby pedestrian streets. This area is the commercial heart of Murcia, full of local shops and boutiques. Take the opportunity to pick up some souvenirs or try Murcian specialties in the nearby tapas bars. A marinera or a Murcian meat pie are sure-fire options to end the day.
After a day full of emotions, it's time to return to TAIGA Costa Cálida . The night journey is perfect to enjoy a clear sky, with the stars as company. Talk to your companions about everything you've experienced and start planning the next destination.
Back at the campsite, the silence and calm of Portús will be the icing on the cake. Relax in your accommodation, enjoy a good conversation or simply listen to the sound of the sea. This is your moment to disconnect and recharge your batteries.
Murcia awaits you with open arms, and TAIGA Costa Cálida is the perfect location to discover it in one day. Culture, gastronomy and a great atmosphere await you!
