There’s no doubt that the culinary delights of a city provide one of main appeal for tourists to visit it.  Like many Spanish cities, Murcia inherits a rich culinary tradition that comes with its centuries-old history that has evolved to blend with modern cooking styles.

Murcia is the least known Spanish City but is well known around Spain for its tasty tapas dishes.  The many restaurants and hotels in the Murcia offers a wide assortment of traditional Murcian tapas and local delicacies prepared in the traditional way.  The coastal restaurants on the other hand, offer Mediterranean sea harvest of fish and seafood dishes that take advantage of its Mar Menor and Mar Mayor.

Some of the restaurant may require reservation for the night especially if it falls during special holidays of the year.  So it is best that the visitor make a call first and their numbers are often listed in the hotel’s directory of fine restaurants.  Again, just like visiting any of the tourist spots, getting a car hire, whether chauffeured or not, is a visitor’s best transport option in getting around Murcia with your family or friends.

To the Restaurants for fine Gastronomic Experience

Some of the best tapas dishes are served in Rincon de Pepe along Aposteles. Then there’s the Hispano along Arquitecto Cerdan which is a favourite watering hole among Murcianos for its traditional dishes served in a rustic cozy ambiance.

The Palacete Rural la Seda along the Vereda del Catalan in Santa Cruz is a good 10-minute ride from Murcia which serves modern Catalan cuisine using only the finest local ingredients and is considered one of the pricey restaurants in the city.  The restaurant itself is well worth the sight as it is a 17^th century edifice originally built as a wine cellar and then a silk factory.

The Monteagudo restaurant situated at Av. Constitucion in the Montequdo suburb is well worth the 3 mile drive from Murcia along its motorway.  You get to learn about the traditional local dishes served with a modern flair and ends with a generous serving of warm chocolate soufflé.

The Restaurante El Sordo along Alhorbona is situated in the Valley of Ricote, just a 15-minute drive from the city and should be no problem reaching with a rented car for an evening of fine dining experience.  It’s an enormous restaurant that’s quite popular and you will need to get yourself booked beforehand.  GP
