Murcia is an old Spanish city, located in the southeastern part of the country. It has over 400,000 inhabitants, which forms about a third of Spain’s population. There are also lot of Murcia city properties available to invest in. 

It’s a popular site with roughly five million people visiting it each year. Aside from fruit orchards and urban areas, natural resources make up the vast majority of the city.

Sergey Sinyugin, CEO of Virto Property, states that investors should take a closer look at Murcia’s real estate market. This article will explore the main reasons why it is worthy of attention.

Landing on Spanish Soil

As of January 2019, the newly established Murcia International Airport has been in flight to locals and tourists alike. Located in the Murcia-Corvera district, this new airport is twenty-five kilometres from the city. There is also an alternative airport in Alicante. From this airport, buses leave for Murcia every hour, which is a seventy-kilometre distance.

Getting Used to the Climate 

A significant change for someone used to cold weather is that the city is home to warm winters and hot summers with an average annual temperature of eighteen degrees. Here, rains are rare and quite irregular. In a year, you can experience an average of 320 days of sun.

Moving Around the City

In other parts of the world, transportation is limited. But this city has given several options for travel. Getting around the city is made more convenient for both locals and tourists. 

Upon entrance, ten bus lines connect the different areas within the city. Trams also connect the central Plaza Circular with the northern section, which comprises the universities, shopping, and residential areas. There are also existing intercity railway lines constructed in 1863.

In April 2015, the city launched an urban public cycling system primarily as a supplement to public transport. Moreover, the urban development model has even been awarded the EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK Award by the European Commission.

A Melting Pot of Faiths

In history, this city was once a Muslim population. As immigrants moved their lives to the town, Christianity grew in the population of immigrants. At present, it is a Christian city, also with Muslim inhabitants and Jewish people as well. 

The Robust Produce

Murcia is known for being the garden of Europe. The reason behind this is its vast fertile landscapes of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and spices, which are exported all around the continent. As of 2019, it is Spain’s third-largest exporter with 2.5 million tons of fruit and vegetable produce valued at 2,564 million euros.

With the pandemic hitting, produce and exports may have decreased due to the travel restrictions for people and goods alike. At this time, it is difficult for fresh supplies of food to reach their destinations. But if you are currently in Murcia, where produce is robust, it is much easier to acquire these goods for your purpose of consumption. Therefore, it is an advantage to be in a city that is a centre of agriculture, a city of abundance.
 

Its Own Architectural Identity

Murcia is also a centre for tourism. With a blend of history and modern-day architecture, Murcia is a site for many parks, landmarks, and museums. Imagine being in a city of picturesque facades.

The most famous among them is the Cathedral of Murcia — an ideal starting point for tours around the city. The cathedral is a mix of gothic and baroque styles. It was once a mosque when no mosques were to be constructed and, therefore, demolished. Later, the city converted the demolished mosque into a cathedral.

Its bell tower is known to be the symbol of Murcia. The tower is known to be the second tallest in Spain after the Giralda in Seville. The doors are a different story. The first door is the “Door of the Apostles,” which has a Gothic style. The second door, which is the “Door of Chains,” has a Renaissance style.
 
The city has a rich history to teach and numerous wonders to explore. During this time, being quarantined or restricted for travel in the town would be an opportunity to learn more about what this place has to offer.

Murcia is a city to add to your travel list; it is even an ideal city to live in and buy properties. Agricultural resources are abundant; architecture is the right blend of history and modern time; transportation options are numerous and evolving; even the religion and culture are diverse.
