Let’s face it, with over 300 days of sunshine a year chances are that Irish people looking for a sun soaked holiday won’t be disappointed with Murcia. As with most Spanish holiday destinations there are low cost flight options from Ireland.
Ryanair offer cheap flights from Shannon Airport and Dublin Airport to Murcia Airport.
Murcia is located in the South east of Spain in the vicinity of the Segura River. The airport in Murcia is called San Javier Airport which is situated close to the towns of Santiago de la Ribera and San Javier. It is also worth considering flying into Alicante Airport as it is only an hour’s drive by car hire from Murcia. On occasion it may work out cheaper this way so it’s well worth taking the time to compare flight prices.
With the influence of the Mediterranean Sea close by there is no shortage of sunshine. Occasionally in the winter time there can be heavy showers however they are usually short lived.
If you decide that you have had enough sunshine for the day then are plenty of other options worth exploring. The Ethnographic Archaeological museum is certainly one such place worth a visit. Here you can see various pieces of Murcia history. The museum contains paleontological fossils. It has a special area for submarine archaeology and another room for the ethnographic type devoted to the last centuries.
The Cathedral of the Diocese of Cartagena is also worth a look. It was built over 71 years beginning in 1394. If one cathedral is not enough then the Santa Maria Cathedral is another option.
There are plenty of excellent Golf courses within easy travelling distance when you holiday in Murcia. Long sun filled days can be spent on the golf course working on that handicap.
