- I could provide an Audi 4. Year 2011 if available , or rent a service.

- Cruises:
After Covid, regulations became complicated and private cars are not allowed to pick you up at the dock, so you will need to take the shuttle. We will speak for details.

Let me show you the Capital of the Region of Murcia. Discovering the 7th most populated city in Spain is a trip to the past through its beautiful streets and squares.

The catholic Cathedral of St Mary is the most important monument of the downtown (old town) together with the so called Royal Casino, the City Hall Building and the Segura River.

Discover with me why the heart of a King was burried in the Cathedral or how this city became the cultural center of Spain during the moorish domination.

Also the visit to the Fuensanta Shrine will leave you with no words. The stunning views of the Segura River Valley and the City are totally worthy, as I tell you all the secrets of that magical place.

Murcia, Capital of the Region: Shore Excursion

Cartagena has a lot of history to be discovered. As a guide who is in love with this city, I would like to take you on a private tour which immerses the visitor in more than 2500 years of history. This city offers the traveler testimonies of history in each Street, in each square.
Different civilizations came to this port and conquered the city.

We have time to learn about the Carthaginians & Romans, founders, and conquerors of the city, and the magnificent city they were able to build: Roman theatre, amphitheater, baths, walls, archaeological sites. . .

Cartagena was founded with the name of Quart-Hadast, in the year 229 b. C. by Asdrúbal. It was just for a short period, as later came the Second Punic War and Romans dominated the city.

The military past of Cartagena focused on the naval base, is also featured in this tour, as well as the mining heyday, with its gorgeous façades. And for your free time, tips about shopping streets & tapas restaurants with a real Spanish touch.

Half Day Cartagena City Private Tour

Visiting the city historic center around the Roman Forum and its 1900's Modernist houses as Cartagena is part of the Modernist route with the biggest concentration of Art Nouveau/Modernist.

We will be sttoping in a old restaurant for its speciality in pulpo, or others in vegetables, seafood and meat. .

Heard about Roman garum? a gourmet Roman fishy exported in all Empire, , , now a version to taste in another stop.

Seafood and also pork meats are big in Cartagena. As so their artichokes in Winter season. . . Or more than 130 references if cheese and wine, local and national. .

Croquetes, cod baignets, all about fresh seafood, , , fresh fried calamary in a paper bag, special since 1912 . . or grilled calamary, the best anchovies toasts with red pepper, trendy somokes sardines. . . and specialities in pork sausages or lamb chops. . .

We'll be around this majesty and will find spots to feel the Mediterranean flavour itself when stopping for its culinary specialties as well.
