About this tour

What to expect
You'll be collected from the port or hotel and driven inland through rolling countryside toward Murcia. The route climbs into the Sierra de Carrascoy, where a stop at the hillside shrine offers perspective on the region's religious heritage. In Murcia itself, your guide will point out key buildings and lead you to a proper local bakery for the regional meat pie. You'll then head to Cartagena's old quarter, visiting the Punic Wall (ancient fortifications) and the ornate Royal Casino before finishing with coffee. The pace is leisurely; expect walking through town centres and time to absorb each stop.
