the Community of Valence. Fruit of its intense historical tradition,
the superposition of cultures, its condition of frontier ground between
the plate and the Andalucian grounds, and of its nature as a
Mediterranean strategic enclave, the Area of Murcie shelters within its
inheritance, an infinity of testimonys of the past.

production of fruits and vegetables and also has a very tourist
littoral where the winters are very soft and sunny. Murcie, the capital
of the Autonomous Community which bears its name, was, in antiquity, a
river port phenician and Roman, and after, a Byzantine province. In

Mursiya, a strategic city surrounded of walls at the edges of the
Segura river, and which, later, reached in full period baroque, a great
artistic and urban development. Currently, in Murcie, each stone, each
vestige, is a reality with intense last and a promising present. A
place where the art and the perfume of the Mediterranean are found.
