Day 15 of your road trip in Spain is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Murcia before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
On your last day in Spain, take time to indulge in shopping at Murcia’s popular marketplace, Centro Comercial Thader. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip.
Enjoy the perfect balance of relaxation and exploration in Murcia today. One of the most increasingly popular attractions included on the itinerary is Puente De Los Peligros. This culturally significant monument will help you start your sightseeing on top.
Throughout the day, make sure to take breaks to appreciate the surroundings.
Before you conclude your road trip in Spain, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Murcia.
Savor the flavors at Cosa Fina GastroBar de Manolo Castro, a top pick for dinner tonight. Alternatively, El Corte Inglés beckons with its unique menu offerings.
You’ll then say farewell to Murcia. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Spain!
