Location and Acces to Murcia

Murcia - A short hop, skip and jump from the UK

Caught between Andalucía's arid landscapes, Castilla-La Mancha's mountains, Valencia's Costa Blanca and the Mediterranean's hues of blues, Murcia sits shyly in Spain's south-eastern corner. Its 250km worth of coastline boasts some of Spain's most lovely beaches, though its residents are happy most are still undiscovered. Immediately inland, Spanish sierras rise above the languid sea air and offer cooler temperatures, mountain adventures and some lovely wee villages.

Air

With Murcia's San Javier Airport serving over a dozen UK cities and several other European capitals, Murcia couldn't be easier to get to. Dozens of daily flights leave from the airport each day. And with many being operated by low-cost carriers, getting here is as cheap as it is convenient.

Flight times from the UK to the Murcia are a measly 2-1/2 hours.
