Murcia Region
General presentation of the Murcia region
Situated in the south-east of Spain, between Andalusia and the Valencian Community, the Murcia region enjoys a warm, dry Mediterranean climate, with over 300 days of sunshine a year. Bordered by the Costa Cálida, the region boasts golden beaches, unspoilt coves, family-friendly seaside resorts and an undulating hinterland. Its authenticity, combined with property prices that are more affordable than in other Spanish coastal areas, attracts families, retirees and international investors alike.
Key towns and their appeal
The province of Murcia is made up of towns and villages with a variety of profiles:

- Águilas - A lively coastal town, famous for its carnival and crystal-clear beaches.
