About MurciaGuia
MurciaGuia was born from frustration: searching for information about Murcia online and finding only generic lists copied from tourist guides clearly written by someone who's never been to the city. Here, we write from the real experience of living in Murcia.
Our Philosophy
We're not your typical tourist guide. We won't recommend tourist traps or the same places that show up on every TripAdvisor ranking. We tell you what we'd tell a friend visiting us: where to actually eat well, which neighborhoods are worth exploring, when it's worth coming, and when it isn't.
We're honest. If something isn't worth it, we say so. If a place is overpriced for what it offers, we say so. If August heat is unbearable, we say so (and tell you how to survive it).
Meet the Writer
Ana Belen Torres
Local Travel Writer
Born and raised in Murcia. Ana Belen has spent her whole life exploring the region — from the streets of the historic center to the lesser-known corners of the coast and mountains. She started writing about Murcia when she realized that most online information about her city was written by people who didn't know it.
Her approach is simple: write the guides she wished she could find when her own friends asked for recommendations. No filters, no hidden advertising, just honest opinions from someone who knows every corner.
