Flights Amsterdam - Murcia
Flying from Amsterdam to Murcia: beaches, a Baroque city centre and the Costa Cálida
In the heart of the city stands a cathedral with a 95 m tower. Outside the city, the coastline of the Costa Cálida follows the warm waters of the Mediterranean, and a little further on lies the Mar Menor, the largest saltwater lake in Europe.
- Costa Cálida: a coastline of quiet beaches and clear water, without the crowds that characterise the larger resorts further along the Spanish coast.
- Murcia Cathedral: a Baroque façade on a broad city square, with a tower you can climb for a panoramic view across the city's rooftops.
- Mar Menor: the warm, still water of this saltwater lake, a short drive away, is ideal for swimming, floating or water sports.
- Santa Clara Museum: a former convent with a quiet courtyard garden, right in the centre of Murcia.
- Cartagena: a city half an hour's drive away, with a Roman theatre in the city centre and a harbour on the Mediterranean Sea.
What to do in Murcia?
- Swimming along the Costa Cálida: the beaches here are quieter than the major resorts further on, with space and clear water that invites you straight into the sea.
- Floating on the Mar Menor: the warm, barely moving water of this saltwater lake is also well suited to water sports or a relaxed afternoon on the water.
- Exploring Murcia city: walk past the cathedral, the main square and the market, and finish on a terrace with tapas and a glass of local wine.
- Visiting Cartagena: a day trip half an hour away, with a Roman theatre in the heart of the city and a lively city centre on the water.
- Seeing the Museo de Bellas Artes de Murcia: a collection of Spanish masters in a museum that pairs well with a walk through the city centre.
