    🇬🇧 Murcia is a baroque, Mediterranean, bright and festive city, modern and ancient at the same time, a great city but tailored to man's needs, where the artistic, historical and cultural heritage, the good weather, the warmth of its people and a internationally famous gastronomy, make the city a highly recommended destination.
    The city of Murcia was founded in 831 by Abd-Al-Rahman II on a privileged location, in the centre of the Valley of the River Segura. The city wall offers a good idea of the importance achieved by the city under Arab rule, and the remains of part of the wall are still visible in different places around the city; the wall originally measured 15 metres in height and had 95 towers. The importance of the city has also been evidenced by the numerous archaeological findings, such as the remains of a palace unearthed at the Las Claras Convent.
    The Christian city has also left a profound mark on Murcia's urban physiognomy; two of its main arteries, La Platería and La Trapería, still reveal the intense guild activity that developed in the metropolis.
    However it was from the 16th century, and particularly the 18th century, onwards that Murcia achieved an urban splendour that lead to its expansion beyond the city walls. It was during that period that the numerous churches - mainly baroque in style - that mark the entire urban landscape were built. These churches include La Merced, San Miguel, Santa Ana, Las Claras, Santo Domingo, Santa Eulalia and San Juan de Dios, which combine their artistic and architectural designs with an important pictorial and sculptural heritage, containing numerous important works, including most notably those produced by Francisco Salzillo.

    🇪🇸 Murcia es una ciudad barroca, mediterránea, luminosa y festiva, moderna y milenaria a la vez, una gran ciudad pero hecha a la medida del hombre, donde el patrimonio artístico, histórico y cultural, el buen tiempo, la calidez de sus gentes y una gastronomía de fama internacional, hacen de la ciudad un destino muy recomendable.
    Murcia es una ciudad fundada en el año 831 por Abd-Al-Rahman II en un enclave privilegiado, en el centro del Valle del Río Segura. De la importancia que alcanzó en la época árabe da buena idea la muralla que la circundaba, algunos de cuyos restos aún son visibles en diferentes lugares de la ciudad, que tenía 15 m de altura y 95 torres. Una importancia que queda también de manifiesto en los numerosos hallazgos arqueológicos, como los de tipo palacial realizados en el Convento de las Claras, hoy museo de Santa Clara.
    La ciudad cristiana también ha dejado profunda huella en la fisonomía urbana de Murcia. Así, dos de sus arterias principales, la Platería y la Trapería, son aún testigo de la intensa actividad gremial que se desarrolló en la urbe. Pero será a partir del s. XVII, y especialmente del XVIII, cuando Murcia alcance un esplendor urbano que la llevará a expandirse más allá de sus murallas. Será éste el momento en que se alcen las numerosas iglesias, mayoritariamente barrocas, que jalonan toda la trama urbana. Templos como los de la Merced, San Miguel, Santa Ana, Las Claras, Santo Domingo, Santa Eulalia o San Juan de Dios, que unen a sus artísticas arquitecturas un importante patrimonio pictórico y escultórico, con obras entre las que destacan las realizadas por Francisco Salzillo.

    What a beautiful tour of Murcia at Christmas. I have not visited there. I am not sure if I passed through there on the train while traveling along the coast from south to north of Spain. I really enjoyed this. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

      Grazie mille per la tua visita. Sono felice che ti sia piaciuto il tour. Sono rimasto anche un po' deluso quando ho visto che la facciata della cattedrale era coperta. Buon Natale!!

    Hola, and good to see you back. Feliz navidad, prospero ano y felicidad. 🎄🧑‍🎄 At the end of the video, I think I heard the Jose Feliciano song, which is one of my favorites. 😀 Wow, what a great video to watch on a Christmas Eve. Great atmosphere and so lively! Love to see so many people out enjoying the Christmas season.
    I noticed everybody wearing their winter jackets. Quite a change from the hot summer. Beautiful walk along the river, and the big 'walk-thru' Christmas tree was great. The Christmas decor throughout the town was nice, and the big tree at 10:41 was great too. At 12:00, that seems like a Christmas market that they put up just for the season? It's huge! I know they love their 'Christmas Markets' in Germany, but is that true for Spain too, and maybe all of Europe? We have a Christmas Market in Boston in the Seaport district (but they won't call it a 'Christmas' market), but I haven't been down there yet. Anyway, the atmosphere was really enjoyable.
    At 20:20, the church is beautiful. And at 20:45 we get to walk thru the big crown! Those decorations must be great at night too. I loved the carousel (or merry-go-round) with Santa and the reindeer! That area was really fun.
    The Teatro Romea, beautiful! That building was just amazing. A Christmas concert there would be perfecto! 😆
    At 28:22, I'm not sure what that place is, but it looks very popular! The Real Casino, wow, that looks great from the outside. I would love to go inside and win some money. 😆
    At 30:28, wow, what a spectacular cathedral. What would a town in Spain be without a spectacular cathedral? It was great timing with the church bells ringing just as you entered the square. It was as if they were announcing your arrival - ladies and gentlemen, now arriving, Walking Spain. Ding, dong, ding, dong ... 😄
    At 34:00, I first thought that the old, red building might be the ayuntamiento, but it was the Episcopal Palace. What a great display in there. I have never seen a Nativity display that big and detailed before. Fantastic.
    Very enjoyable video and perfect for the Christmas season. Feliz Navidad. Hope you have a happy Christmas day.

      Hola! Thank you very much for your wait! I hope you also enjoyed Christmas Eve and have a happy holiday. I am very glad that you enjoyed this Christmas tour. As you say, atmosphere was very lively that day and I could already feel the Christmas spirit. I would have also liked to film a tour at night with the Christmas decorations on but unfortunately Gopro has very poor image quality at night and I was worried that the tour would not turn out as I would like, even so on my next tour I have dared to film Alicante Christmas lights at night (I hope the result is good 🤞)
      I really like listening to Christmas carols and music in the streets at this time but to be honest with you, while I was filming the tour my concern was that CZcams would give me some kind of problem with copyright when editing 😅 Although in the end that was not the case.
      That day weather was pleasant, it was not cold. I think I've already told you this before so maybe it's a bit repetitive for you 😄 but I have the impression that people who live on the Mediterranean coast tend to dress too warmly on these dates even if the weather is warm (although it's true , which as soon as the sun sets the temperatures drop considerably) This is sometimes funny because many foreigners from northern Europe and Russia also live in this region who usually always wear t-shirts and shorts, so when I walk I can observe people wearing big coats next to others in t-shirts 😂
      Germany's Christmas markets are truly spectacular. I have been lucky enough to visit that country during Christmas and I have visited their markets, I think they play in a league of their own 😄 Although I think it is a tradition that has spread to other countries such as Spain, because many markets like those have emerged here in recent years. I was also impressed by the size of this Christmas market since that Paseo is quite long.
      I agree with you, Murcia cathedral is spectacular. Its tower is the second tallest in Spain (the tallest is that of the Seville Cathedral). You're right, those chimes were really timely, it seems as if I had rehearsed it before filming 😄 Although it is a shame that its main façade was covered, it was a little frustrating when I looked at it since that baroque style façade is one of the most impressive of Spain. It's a shame you can't watch it. As a consolation, you can get an idea by looking at the cover image that appears in my tour.
      You are right, the episcopal palace could perfectly be the city hall, although you are not so far from the truth, because the city hall is the building that is right next to it and you can see its main façade in the square where the tour ended. As a curiosity, that modern building that is also in the square in front of the cathedral is an extension of the city hall, so as you can see, not only in Boston modern city hall buildings are built in the old town 😄
      Feliz Navidad y prospero año nuevo! 😉
      See you!
