The city of Murcia has almost half a million inhabitants and is the 7th most populated municipality in Spain. One of the first characteristics that stand out about Murcia is its spectacular natural environment, with the Segura river being one of its main attractions. Another reason for its enormous popularity is its fertile and prosperous lands, especially towards the south near the mountain ranges, highlighting the Sierra de Carrascoy. This natural beauty contains several routes and trails that have become a tourist epicentre, both ecological and heritage-related.
Throughout Murcia, you can find important urban routes that allow tourists to visit places of historical and heritage value. These include the cathedral, impressive and monumental churches from the Baroque period, the Museum of Murcia, the remains of the medieval wall and even the exquisite and popular Gastronomic Route, which highlights the region’s exquisite food.
In addition to its urban routes, Murcia is rich in natural routes, both circular and linear, with distances ranging from 1.5 to 25 kilometres or more; in addition to catering to both amateurs and experienced athletes and hikers, all of them stand out for their splendid natural beauty.
Among the main linear routes and trails are the Umbrías de Santo Ángel, the Los Arejos Path, the Cuevas del Buitre and the Pico del Águila, while among the many trails and circular routes are the Los Gigovinos Trail, the Miguel Ángel Cámara Botía Trail, the Huerta de Monteagudo Trail and the Valle Perdido Trenches.
