Murcia is a Spanish city with the Moorish (Arab) past: the city was founded in the 9th century by Caliph Abderrachman II. The river Segura brought water to the otherwise very dry area. The Arabs constructed an irrigation system, which provided the basis for the city's and the region's growth. The old city wall dates back to Moorish times, a beautiful contrast to the Roman Catholic churches in Murcia. Highlights are the cathedral that was built in various eras and styles, and the Moorish castle on Monteagudo mountain.
The city has more than 400,000 inhabitants, four times more than a century ago. The presence of three universities means that the city has a young population and the feel of a university city: a lot of entertainment against a beautiful historical background.
Murcia is situated in the south-east of Spain, in the Segura river valley. To the north-east of the city lies Alicante, to the east the popular seaside report of Torrevieja.

Murcia's main street, Calle de Traperia, is car free. In the city centre, it is hard to find a place to park in the street. There are car parks, but even there it is hard to find a place to park at night. The solution: park your car in one of the car parks before the shops open again, at 5 pm. In Spain you are not allowed to park your car next to a curb with a yellow line. However, sometimes the yellow lines are hard to sea due to wear. You are allowed to park at a blue line, but you need to get a ticket from a machine. Seat belts are mandatory, both in the front and in the rear.
In Spain, fines for violations or for parking to long or in the wrong place are high. In addition, foreigners have to pay on the spot.
