This is a ‘runseeing’ tour of Murcia’s historic center, which includes the Gran Via and several small parks. Use our mapped route as a guideline to create your own adventure! The historic center is on the north bank of the Segura River, inside the N-340/MU-33 highways that form a belt around the city.
Start at the impressive Catedral de Murcia just north of the river. Use the mainly pedestrianized C. Trapería, which turns into the tree-shaded Gran Vía Alfonso X el Sabio, which also has a pedestrian path. It’s 1 km to the Fuente Plaza Circular (fountain roundabout). Key sites off the Gran Via include the Teatro Roma, several museums including the Palacio Almudí, and some small plazas.

In central Murcia, there are lovely paths along the Segura River, through riverfront parks and gardens. Includes the 15th-century promenade, Paseo del Malecón. Long-distance cycle paths extend for several km east and west along the river.
About 40 km east of Murcia, there are several scenic coastal routes along the Southern Costa Blanca. We've mapped routes in Torrevieja, Punta Prima, Oriheula, and Torre De La Horadada.
