Murcia possesses a number of regional parks, each one offering a unique eco-system with its own characteristics, ranging from the Salinas de San Pedro del Pinatar, which includes wild beaches, posidonia meadows and salt flats, through the sandy dunes and volcanic rocks of the Calblanque park, to the cool forests and mountain peaks of the Sierra de Espuña.

Each month the regional parks offer a number of free activities, some of them designed to be enjoyed at your own leisure and others in organised groups on specific dates. Group activities normally require pre-booking as numbers are generally limited: the earlier you book, the better. All activities are in Spanish unless otherwise stated.
