Car Hire Murcia Bartolome Panos Perez

From Murcia Bartolome Panos Perez, you’re around a 30-minute drive from the city of Murcia. The capital of the region bearing the same name offers a wealth of sightseeing, shopping and cultural pursuits.

Murcia Cathedral, built between the years of 1394 and 1465, is a must-see. The Gothic structure has undergone a number of renovations and changes over the years – evident through its delightful Renaissance, baroque and neoclassical flourishes.

The attractions don’t end there. The Salzillo Museum is another must-visit, offering a collection of life-sized polychrome figures carved by Francisco Salzillo – an 18th century sculptor. The figures are used for the city’s flamboyant Easter processions.

Another must-see is the Casino – an impressive building dating back to 1847, featuring an elegant library, Moorish patio and spectacular neo-baroque ballroom.

Round off your tour with a few hours at the Convent Church of Santa Ana. Not only is it worth visiting for its architecture but the freshly baked cakes, sold by the Sisters of the Enclosed Order.

As the sun sets, the city comes to life. Murcia has a small but vibrant nightlife, buzzing with bars, clubs and restaurants – mainly clustered around the University quarter and old town.
