Recovering from another session

depends where abouts in murcia you are going,its quite a big place, heres some information i'd written for someone else asking about murcia area in general

Murcia; I am currently trying to buy a house in murcia, (so i recomend it!!) again in murcia there is an airport.the airport is about 5km from murcia center. Murcia is very big on cultivation, its where a lot of europes citrus fruits and olives come from.The importance of the city over the years can be seen in its churches, palaces and other public buildings. To see Murcian Baroque at its best, visit the churches of La Merced, San Juan de Dios, San Nicolas or San Miguel and buildings such as the Bishop 5 Palace or the Palacio Fontes.
Murcia tries its best to preserve its historical treasures as well as allowing visitors/tourists to see them.
in murcia you can be staying right on the coast or inland which can be up to 2hrs away id say.
Id say just mooch about, relax and take in the easy atmosphere of it all....going have some meals out, have a nice drink by the beach..just relax and be friendly and you will love it :-)

hope this helps

if you think i can help you with anything else, email me :-)

Look on www.spanish-living.com it will tell you all you want to know.
By the way Murcia city does not have an airport itself (as someone suggested it was 5km from the centre - untrue) it is San Javier airport which people call Murcia airport it is on the coast, 17 miles from Murcia Capital.

I just flew back from Murcia about 3 hours ago, serious, smallest airport I ever been to..
I stayed in Santa Polo, its about a 40 minute drive from Murcia, very nice town, nice beach, good shopping. The Rio safari park is quite close too, in Elche I think, there you can have your photo taken on an elephant and hold snakes and stuff like that.
Murcia is quite nice, nice buildings, but I would definatly go to Alicante, Elche or Santa Polo too. Santa Polo has a great open air market on saturdays if you like shopping..
Have a good trip..

Where abouts in the Murcia Province are you staying, The town itself is quite historic, The area covered meets up with the costa blanca etc, Santa pola is nearer to the airport of ALicante for those who have been this may be usefull if you visit again.
