Located between the community of Valencia and Andalusia is Murcia, Spain which in antiquity was a powerful Carthaginian and Roman settlement but the long presence of the Moors had an obvious effect on its History.
Like most other Spanish cities, Murcia, Spain is a favorite tourist zone. The city is thinly populated and most of the residents inhabit the areas around the rivers. Moorish influence is more than apparent in the city, especially on the walls of the city. After the re-conquest, a number of mosques were broken down only to be replaced by churches. Naturally, the cathedral is the most prized and central building in the city. This cathedral was started to be built by Bishop Pedrosa in the year 1388 and it houses a mixture of different styles and cultures.
Murcia, Spain is primarily a University City and obviously is the nucleus of the City. The building is huge in size and is bound to attract attention. The city is full of students who are fellows of the University and the living environment around the University with bustling bars, and restaurants, and vibrancy to the city life.
The weather in Murcia, Spain is marked by unbearably hot summers and mild winters. Murcia is built almost in the middle of a low-lying fertile plain and the rivers, Egura, Murdo, and Sangonera help in irrigating the land which makes the making of fruit orchards conducive. The dry arid land, which is also there in abundance, is used for growing Olives and Vines.
