History culture and atmosphere Everything described in earlier paragraphs takes place within the Autonomous Community of Murcia, which is located between Andalucía and the Costa Blanca. At its heart is the regional capital of Murcia, a city founded by the erstwhile Moorish rulers of Iberia. Set upon the Segura River a little inland from the southern Costa Blanca, the city lays within a fertile agricultural plain known locally as the Huerta, or the Orchard of Europe. Murcia is a lively city with a beautiful historic centre ornamented by Baroque buildings, medieval ruins now laid bare by archaeologists and grand boulevards. A tall statue of Christ standing atop an old Moorish citadel is the city’s icon visible from far and wide, while once inside its urban core you are surrounded by the unmistakable sights, sounds and atmosphere of a classic Spanish city. Less than half an hour from the resort areas of the Mar Menor, it is a popular cultural reference for Spanish and foreign residents alike. CITY OF THE ANCIENTS If you like watching movies such as Troy, The 300 and Jason and the Argonauts, the city of Cartagena will strike a chord, 30 l SPAINPROPERTYGUIDE.COM
for it was founded by the Carthaginians – you know, of the famous general Hannibal who crossed the Alps with an army (including elephants) and routed the Roman armies. That was back when the city states founded by Phoenician traders had grown into a powerful naval empire challenged by the up-and-coming Roman upstarts – who eventually won those Punic Wars. Over two thousand years ago, Cartagena (which means ‘New Carthage’) was the scene of major battles, and long after it continued to be a vital strategic port. So much so, in fact, that it continues to be the Mediterranean fleet HQ of the Spanish Navy today. But, in spite of impressive historic buildings and a stunning Roman amphitheatre, there is so much more to recommend this port city. Cartagena bustles with Mediterranean culture and energy, complemented by the fact that it is a naval port and a university town. You’ll love the dry, energising climate, the sights and atmospheric setting within a mountainous bay – all within a short drive from your home on the Costa Blanca or Mar Menor.
