Murcia Road Trip: Cartagena, Coves, Cathedrals, Cicadas & a Roman Theatre

August 19, 2019

Lots of sights and sounds from Murcia as I make a last minute trip to the region in southeast Spain. Using Murcia city as our base we explore the city of Cartagena and its Roman Theatre ( The second largest in Spain), wander around the city's harbour and go for seafood.

Back in Murcia city I look at the beautiful and architectural eclectic Santa Iglesia Catedral de Santa María, walk through the city's park, The 'Huerto de los Cipreses' and contemplate the sounds of the cicadas and the city of Murcia and the region too.

We also hit the coast and explore the 'calas' or coves and beaches of the region, finishing our road trip in Bolnuevo where I examine the unusual rock formations reminiscent of the region's badlands.
